Application
Extracts of NIH3T3 cells untreated (lane 1) or treated with 50 ng/mL PDGF for 15 minutes (lanes 2-5) were resolved by SDS-PAGE on a 10% Tris-glycine gel and transferred to PVDF. The membrane was blocked with a 4% BSA-TBST buffer for one hour at room temperature, then incubated with the MEK1 [pT292] antibody in a 1% BSA-TBST buffer for two hours at room temperature, following prior incubation with: no peptide (1, 2), a generic phosphothreonine-containing peptide (3), the non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the phosphopeptide immunogen (4), or the phosphopeptide immunogen (5). After washing, the membrane was incubated with goat F(ab’)2 anti-rabbit IgG HRP conjugate and signals were detected. The data show that only the phosphopeptide corresponding to MEK1 [pT292] blocks the antibody signal, demonstrating the specificity of the antibody. The data also show the induction of MEK1 [pT292] phosphorylation by the addition of PDGF to this cell system. In addition, this antibody did not recognize a recombinant MEK1 T292A mutant protein, further demonstrating its specificity for MEK1 [pT292] (data not shown).| Product Name | MEK1 (phospho Thr292) antibody |

| Antibody Type | Primary Antibodies |
| Product description | Rabbit polyclonal to MEK1 ( phospho T292 )Mitogen activated protein kinase kinase 2 (MEK 2 or MAPKK 2) is a member of a family of tyrosine/threonine protein kinases that activate the ERK 1 and 2 and MAPK enzymes by phosphorylating both residues within the threonine - glutamate - tyrosine (TEY) motif in the activation loop. MEK 1 and 2 are also activated by dual-phosphorylation, which occurs on serine 218 and 222, in the activation loop of the MEK. Threonine 292 of MEK 1 is phosphorylated by ERK 2, which serves as a negative feedback loop by suppressing activation of MEK 1. |
| Immunogen | The antiserum was produced against a chemically synthesized phosphopeptide derived from a region of human MEK 1 that contains threonine 292. |
