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.

Supplementary information

MEK3 also known as MAP2K3 is a kinase that plays a significant mechanical role within cells. It is part of the MAP kinase family sharing functions with enzymes like MEK6. MEK3 has a molecular mass of approximately 38 kDa and is localized in cytoplasmic regions of various cell types. This protein is expressed in a wide range of tissues indicating its diverse functional roles across different biological systems.
Biological function summary

MEK3 is involved in the phosphorylation cascade within the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. It often exists as part of a complex working alongside other kinases to activate p38 MAPK which then regulates gene expression. The involvement of MEK3 in this signaling cascade influences processes such as cellular stress response and inflammation. Its ability to modulate these processes makes MEK3 an important component in maintaining cellular homeostasis.

Pathways

MEK3 functions as an essential link within the stress-activated pathways like the MAPK signaling pathway. It phosphorylates and activates the p38 MAPK pathway therefore regulating activities related to cellular stress and inflammatory responses. MEK3 works in conjunction with related kinases such as MEK6 to propagate the MAPK signaling cascade further emphasizing its important role in these pathways.

MEK3 has a documented involvement in inflammatory conditions and cancer. Its role in activating the p38 MAPK pathway connects it to inflammatory diseases where dysregulated signaling may lead to excessive inflammation. Furthermore aberrant MEK3 activity is associated with certain cancers as it affects cell proliferation and survival. MEK3's interactions with other kinases like MEK6 underline its involvement in these pathological processes making it a potential target for therapeutic intervention.

Target data

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. Part of a signaling cascade that begins with the activation of the adrenergic receptor ADRA1B and leads to the activation of MAPK14.
