Rabbit anti-Phospho MEK1(T286) Antibody, Affinity Purified

The epitope recognized by PLA0285 maps to a region of human MAPK/ERK kinase 1 (dual specificity mitogen-activiated protein kinase kinase 1) surrounding threonine 286 using the numbering given in entry NP_002746.1 (Gene ID 5604) when the threonine residue is phosphorylated.

Tris-citrate/phosphate buffer, pH 7 to 8 containing 0.09% Sodium Azide

MEK1 is an activator and kinase for MAP and ERK kinases. It is a serine/threonine kinase essential to the MAP kinase signal transduction pathway which is involved in a multitude of cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, gene activation, and development. MEK1 displays 85% identity with MEK2. Although MEK1 and MEK2 have been found to be functionally similar, they may serve non-redundant functions. Both are required for cellular proliferation and may play a role in tumorigenesis.
