Descrizione

Descrizione generale

MAP kinase kinase (MAPKK, MEK) consists of three different isoforms with a high degree of homology between them, MEK-1a (45 kDa), MEK-1b (41 kDa), and MEK-2 (46 kDa). MEK isoforms are generally expressed, in the central nervous system, thymus, spleen, heart, lung, kidney. In addition, it is also expressed at high levels in PC12 cells and in fibroblasts.

Specificità

Reacts with MEK-1a and MEK-2. Staining of MEK-1a and MEK-2 is specifically inhibited with MEK-1 peptide (34-48), but not with MAP kinase peptide (317-399) corresponding to subdomain XI of ERK1.

Immunogeno

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 34-48 of human MAP kinase kinase 1 (MEK-1).

Applicazioni

Anti-MAP Kinase Kinase (MEK, MAPKK) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunoblotting and for analysis of signaling pathways.

Azioni biochim/fisiol

Antibodies that react specifically with MEK may be used to study the specific activation requirements, differential tissue expression and intracellular localization of MEK in normal and neoplastic tissue.

MAP Kinase Kinase (MAPKK, MEK1 and MEK2) belong to a family of enzymes that activates their substrate by dual phosphorylation at threonine and tyrosine residues. MEK1 and MEK2 have 86% homology in their catalytic domain. Activation of MEK1/2 is mediated in mitogen-stimulated cells by Raf-1 kinase. MEK1/2 then activates ERK1/2 leading to the activation of several downstream targets that contribute to cell proliferation, apoptosis and motility. In addition to ERK1/2, there may be non-catalytic effectors of MEK1/2. MEK isoforms appear to be widely expressed in the central nervous system, thymus, spleen, heart, lung, and kidney. Active forms of MEK1/2 are sufficient for the transformation of NIH3T3 cells of the differentiation of PC-12 cells.
