ERK1 / 2 (phospho Thr202 / Tyr204) Antibody

• Background:

  Extracellular-Signal Regulated Kinase/Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (ERK/MAPK) is an integral component of cellular signaling during mitogenesis and differentiation of mitotic cells and also is thought to play a key role in learning and memory. The activity of this kinase is regulated by dual phosphorylation at Thr202 and Tyr204.

• NCBI Gene ID:

  116590

• Swiss Prot:

  P63086

• Accession Number:

  P63086

• Host:

  Rabbit

• Reactivity:

  Human, Mouse, Rat, Frog

• Immunogen:

  ERK/MAPK (Thr202/Tyr204) polyclonal antibody was raised against a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to amino acids residues surrounding the phospho-Thr202 and Tyr204 of ERK/MAPK.

• Clonality:

  Polyclonal

• Conjugation:

  Unconjugated

• Type:

  Primary Antibodies

• Field of Research:

  Cancer, Signal Transduction, Cancer, Phospho-Specific

• Purification:

  Affinity Purified

• Concentration:

  Batch dependent

• Modification:

  Phospho-Specific

• Shipping Conditions:

  Blue Ice

• Storage Conditions:

  For long term storage -80˚ C is recommended, but shorter term storage at -20˚ C is also acceptable as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to the presence of 50% glycerol. Stock solutions are stable for a minimum of 1 year at -20˚ C.

• Calculated Molecular Weight:

  42/44

• Specificity:

  ERK1/2 antibody is specific for the 42/44 k ERK/MAPK protein phosphorylated at Thr202 and Tyr204..

• Applications Notes:

  Immunolabeling in UV treated Jurkat Cells or in a rat brain lysate is blocked by the Thr202/Tyr204 phosphopeptide used as antigen but not by the corresponding dephosphopeptide. Applications include Dot Blots (DB) and Western Blots (WB) . Human, mouse, rat and Xenopus have 100% amino acid sequence identity with the antigen used to raise the antibody. Dot blots and Western blots with a rat brain lysate were performed with each lot. When internally tested under ideal conditions the working dilutions were 1:1000 for DB and WB.
