| Specificity / Sensitivity |
MEK1/2 Antibody detects endogenous levels of total MEK1/2 protein. The antibody does not cross-react with related kinases such as SEK (MKK4), MKK3 or MKK6. |
| Source / Purification |
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to the sequence of human MEK1/2. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Western Blotting
Western blot analysis of extracts from untreated, TPA-treated or lambda phosphatase-treated HeLa cells, using Phospho-MEK 1/2 (Ser217/221) Antibody #9121 (upper) or MEK 1/2 Antibody #9122 (lower).

| Background |
MEK1 and MEK2, also called MAPK or Erk kinases, are dual-specificity protein kinases that function in a mitogen activated protein kinase cascade controlling cell growth and differentiation (1-3). Activation of MEK1 and MEK2 occurs through phosphorylation of two serine residues at positions 217 and 221, located in the activation loop of subdomain VIII, by Raf-like molecules. MEK1/2 is activated by a wide variety of growth factors and cytokines and also by membrane depolarization and calcium influx (1-4). Constitutively active forms of MEK1/2 are sufficient for the transformation of NIH/3T3 cells or the differentiation of PC-12 cells (4). MEK activates p44 and p42 MAP kinase by phosphorylating both threonine and tyrosine residues at sites located within the activation loop of kinase subdomain VIII.
