Overview

Product name

Anti-MEK3 + MEK6 (phospho S189) antibody

Description

Rabbit polyclonal to MEK3 + MEK6 (phospho S189)

Specificity

This antibody reacts with MEK 3 and MEK 6 (93% homologous). This antibody shows some cross-reactivity with MEK 4 when tested in a system with high MEK 4 expression levels. It does not react with any other MEK isoforms.

Purity

Immunogen affinity purified

Purification notes

Purified from rabbit serum by sequential epitope-specific chromatography. The antibody has been negatively preadsorbed using a non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the site of phosphorylation to remove antibody that is reactive with non-phosphorylated MEK 3. The final product is generated by affinity chromatography using a MEK 3 derived peptide that is phosphorylated at serine 189 and threonine 193.

Primary antibody notes

Mitogen Activated Protein Kinase Kinases 3 and 6 (MEK 3/6 or MKK 3/6) are 42 kDa members of a tyrosine/threonine protein kinase family that activate p38, which is part of the inflammation/stress signaling pathway. Phosphorylation of MEK3 and 6 by MEKK1 on serine 189 and threonine 193 (serine 207 and threonine 211 for MEK6) in the catalytic domain activates the proteins and enables them to phosphorylate p38.

Target

Relevance

MEK3 and MEK6 are dual specificity protein kinases that belong to the MAP kinase kinase family. MEK3 and MEK6 are activated by mitogenic and environmental stress, and participate in the MAP kinase-mediated signaling cascade. They phosphorylate and thus activate MAPK14/p38-MAPK. MEK3 can be activated by insulin, and is necessary for the expression of glucose transporter. MEK6 is involved in many cellular processes such as stress induced cell cycle arrest, transcription activation and apoptosis.

Peptide Competition: Extracts prepared from background extracts with Mal-E tagged fusion protein expressing MEK 6 left inactivated (6) or with MEKK added for activation (1-5) were resolved by SDS-PAGE on a 10% polyacrylamide gel and transferred to PVDF. Membranes were blocked with a 5% BSA-TBST buffer overnight at 4oC, then were incubated with 0.50 µg/mL ab4759 antibody for two hours at room temperature in a 3% BSA-TBST buffer, following prior incubation with: no peptide (1, 6), the non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the immunogen (2), a generic phosphoserine containing peptide (3), a generic phosphothreonine containing peptide (4), or, the phosphopeptide immunogen (5). After washing, membranes were incubated with goat F(ab’)2 antirabbit IgG alkaline phosphatase and signals were detected using the Tropix WesternStar method. The data show that only the peptide corresponding to ab4759 blocks the antibody signal, thereby demonstrating the specificity of the antibody. Please note that the Mal-E-tagged fusion protein expressing MEK6 runs at 81 kDa.
