Function
Involved in both the initiation and regulation of meiosis, mitosis, and postmitotic functions in differentiated cells by phosphorylating a number of transcription factors such as ELK1. Phosphorylates EIF4EBP1; required for initiation of translation. Phosphorylates microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2). Phosphorylates SPZ1 (By similarity). Phosphorylates heat shock factor protein 4 (HSF4) and ARHGEF2.
Acts as a transcriptional repressor. Binds to a [GC]AAA[GC] consensus sequence. Repress the expression of interferon gamma-induced genes. Seems to bind to the promoter of CCL5, DMP1, IFIH1, IFITM1, IRF7, IRF9, LAMP3, OAS1, OAS2, OAS3 and STAT1. Transcriptional activity is independent of kinase activity. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CMGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. MAP kinase subfamily.
Contains 1 protein kinase domain. -
Domain
The TXY motif contains the threonine and tyrosine residues whose phosphorylation activates the MAP kinases. -
Post-translational
modificationsDually phosphorylated on Thr-185 and Tyr-187, which activates the enzyme. Dephosphorylated by PTPRJ at Tyr-187. -

Immunofluorescent analysis of ERK1 + ERK2 Antibody was done on 70% confluent log phase U87-MG cells. The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 minutes, permeabilized with 0.25% Triton™ X-100 for 10 minutes, and blocked with 5% BSA for 1 hour at room temperature. The cells were labeled with ab17942 at 1:250 dilution in 1% BSA and incubated for 3 hours at room temperature and then labeled with Alexa Fluor 488 Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG Secondary Antibody at a dilution of 1:400 for 45 minutes at room temperature (Panel a: green). Nuclei (Panel b: blue) were stained with SlowFade® Gold Antifade Mountant with DAPI. F-actin (Panel c: red) was stained with Alexa Fluor 594 Phalloidin. Panel d is a merged image showing cytoplasmic and nuclear localization. Panel e is a no primary antibody control. The images were captured at 40X magnification.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-ERK1 + ERK2 antibody (ab17942)Immunohistochemistry analysis of ERK1/2 (pan) showing staining in the cytoplasm and nucleus of paraffin-embedded mouse stomach tissue (right) compared to a negative control without primary antibody (left). To expose target proteins, antigen retrieval was performed using 10mM sodium citrate (pH 6.0), microwaved for 8-15 min. Following antigen retrieval, tissues were blocked in 3% H2O2-methanol for 15 min at room temperature, washed with ddH2O and PBS, and then probed with ab17942 diluted in 3% BSA-PBS at a dilution of 1:20 overnight at 4°C in a humidified chamber. Tissues were washed extensively in PBST and detection was performed using an HRP-conjugated secondary antibody followed by colorimetric detection using a DAB kit. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and dehydrated with ethanol and xylene to prep for mounting.

Western Blot for ab17942.
Extracts prepared from PC12 cells not stimulated (-), or stimulated with NGF (+) were resolved by SDS-PAGE on a 10% polyacrylamide gel and transferred to nitrocellulose. Membranes were blocked with a 5% BSA-TBST buffer overnight at 4C, then were incubated with ERK1&2 pan antibody for two hours at room temperature in a 3% BSA-TBST buffer. After washing, membranes were incubated
with goat anti-rabbit IgG alkaline phosphatase.These data show that ab17942 ERK1&2 antibody allows the total amount of ERK1&2 to be measured.

The tissue was harvested seven days post surgery, sonicated with RIPA buffer and the protein estimate made by Lowry. A 10% SDS-PAGE gel was run for 1.5 hr at 100V and transfered to PVDF membrane for 1.5 hr at 274 mA. The blot was blocked with 5% BSA for 1 hour at 23°C. The primary antibody was incubated with the blot for 18 hours at 4°C. -
