anti-Phospho-MAPKAPK-2 Antibody

Phoshpo-MAPKAPK-2

MAPKAPK2 ,MK2 , MAPKAPK-2

MAP kinase-activated protein kinase-2 (MAPKAPK-2), also known as p45 hsp27 kinase, is a 45-54 kDa serine-threonine protein kinase. MAPKAPK-2 is rapidly phosphorylated and activated in response to stress, cytokines, and chemotactic factors. One of the major substrates of MAPKAPK-2 is hsp27, which stimulates actin polymerization in order to facilitate recovery from destruction of cytoskeleton during cellular stresses. Two isoforms are produced due to alternative splicing of the same gene which differs in their C-terminals. This antibody recognizes both isoforms.

Rabbit

Polyclonal

Rabbit IgG

Human, mouse

Synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Thr334 of human MAPKAPK-2

0.5 mg/ml

Liquid

100 µg (0.5 mg/ml) antigen affinity purified rabbit polyclonal antibody in phosphate buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.2, containing 50% glycerol, 1% BSA, 0.02% thimerosal.

Affinity purified

Western blot

Western blotting (1 µg/ml). However, the optimal conditions should be determined individually. The antibody detects phosphorylated MAPKAPK-2 (Thr334) of human and mouse origins. Reactivity to other species has not been tested.

Shelf time: 12 months in temp.: -20 deg.C

gel pack

The antibody solution should be gently mixed before use.

This antibody needs to be stored at + 4°C in a fridge short term in a concentrated dilution. Freeze thaw will destroy a percentage in every cycle and should be avoided.

If you buy Antibodies supplied by Biovision they should be stored frozen at - 24°C for long term storage and for short term at + 5°C.
