Conjugation ready
Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

Sandwich ELISA
The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization for ELISA-based assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type. Please note that the range provided for this antibody is only an estimation based on the performance of the product using the recommended antibody pair. Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibody in your assay.

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.
