Target
-
Function
Dual specificity kinase. Is activated by cytokines and environmental stress in vivo. Catalyzes the concomitant phosphorylation of a threonine and a tyrosine residue in the MAP kinase p38. -
Tissue specificity
Abundant expression is seen in the skeletal muscle. It is also widely expressed in other tissues. -
Involvement in disease
Note=Defects in MAP2K3 may be involved in colon cancer. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. STE Ser/Thr protein kinase family. MAP kinase kinase subfamily.
Contains 1 protein kinase domain. -
Post-translational
modificationsAutophosphorylated.
Phosphorylation on Ser-218 and Thr-222 by MAP kinase kinase kinases regulates positively the kinase activity.
Yersinia yopJ may acetylate Ser/Thr residues, preventing phosphorylation and activation, thus blocking the MAPK signaling pathway. - Information by UniProt

Lane 1: Wild-type HAP1 cell lysate (20 µg)
Lane 2: MEK3knockout HAP1 cell lysate (20 µg)
Lane 3: HeLa cell lysate (20 µg)
Lane 4: Jurkat cell lysate (20 µg)
Lanes 1 - 4: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab40836 observed at 150 kDa. Red - loading control, ab8245, observed at 37 kDa.
ab40836 was shown to recognize MEK3 when MEK3 knockout samples were used, along with additional cross-reactive bands. Wild-type and MEK3 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab40836 and ab8245 (loading control to GAPDH) were both diluted to 1/5000 and 1/10000 respectively and incubated overnight at 4°C. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed ab216773 and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed ab216776 secondary antibodies at 1/10000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging. -
