Rabbit anti MEK 1/2 (pSer218/pSer222) antibody recognizes MAPK/ERK kinase 1 (MEK 1) and MAPK/ERK kinase 2 (MEK 1), also known as MAP kinase kinase 1 (MAPKK 1) and MAP kinase kinase 2 (MAPKK 2) respectively, when phosphorylated at serine 218 and 222.

MEK1 and 2 are related dual specificity protein kinases from the MAP kinase family. These proteins are activated by phosphoryation at serine 218 and 222, and play a critical role in mitogen growth factor signal transduction.

Applications of MEK 1/2 (pSer218/pSer222) antibody

This product has been reported to work in the following applications. This information is derived from testing within our laboratories, peer-reviewed publications or personal communications from the originators. Please refer to references indicated for further information. For general protocol recommendations, please visit the antibody protocols page.
Application Name Verified Min Dilution Max Dilution
Western Blotting 1 1/1000
  1. 1 For the detection of phosphoproteins, serine phosphatase inhibitors such as 10mM Sodium Fluoride should be added to the sample buffer. Milk or other casein-based blocking solutions are not recommended as casein is a phosphoprotein and its use can result in high background.
Where this antibody has not been tested for use in a particular technique this does not necessarily exclude its use in such procedures. Suggested working dilutions are given as a guide only. It is recommended that the user titrates the antibody for use in their own system using appropriate negative/positive controls.
Western Blotting
AHP904 recognises a band of approximately 45kD in serum stimulated mouse NIH 3T3 cell lysates.
