Recombinant mitogen-activated protein kinase 7 isoform 1

Anti-MAPK7 (ab2) antibody produced in chicken is suitable for western blotting analysis at a dilution of 1:500, for tissue or cell staining at a dilution of 1:200.

Mitogen-activated protein kinase 7 (also known as MAP kinase 7) is an enzyme encoded by the MAPK7 gene in humans and is mapped to chromosome 17 band p11.2. It belongs to mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family and regulates a wide variety of cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, necrosis, apoptosis and degeneration. MAPK7 is involved in degeneration of nucleus pulposus. Expression of MAPK7 may act as a valuable indicator for predicting lung cancer risk in smokers.
