Our Anti-MEK1/2 (Ser218,222) rabbit polyclonal phosphospecific primary antibody from PhosphoSolutions is produced in-house. It detects mouse and human MEK1/2 (Ser218,222) and is antigen affinity purified from pooled serum. It is great for use in WB.

Western Blot of NIH 3T3 cell lysates showing specific immunolabeling of the ~45 kDa MEK 1/2 protein phosphorylated at Ser218 and Ser222. The cells were either serum starved (-) or incubated in the presence of serum (+). Immunolabeling of an additional band at ~95 kDa was also observed.

Product Details
MEK1/2 (Ser218,222)
MEK 1 (MAP Kinase Kinase, also known as MKK) is an integral component of the MAP kinase cascade that regulates cell growth and differentiation (Ahn, 1993; Chong et al., 2003). This pathway also plays a key role in synaptic plasticity in the brain (Adams and Sweatt, 2002). Activated MEK 1 acts as a dual specificity kinase phosphorylating both a threonine and a tyrosine residue on MAP kinase (Kyriakis et al., 1991; Seger et al., 1991; Crews et al., 1992).

45 kDa
Synthetic phospho-peptide corresponding to amino acid residues surrounding Ser218/222 of human MEK1/2, conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH). Note: The phosphosites in human MEK 1/2 are Ser218 and Ser222; the phosphosites in mouse MEK 1/2 are Ser217 and Ser221.

Storage at -20°C is recommended, as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to presence of 50% glycerol. Stable for at least 1 year at -20°C.
Liquid
Prepared from pooled rabbit serum by affinity purification via sequential chromatography on phospho and non-phosphopeptide affinity columns.
10 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg per ml BSA and 50% glycerol.
WB: 1:1000
Unconjugated
Specific for endogenous levels of the ~45 kDa MEK 1/2 protein phosphorylated at Ser218/222. Immunolabeling is blocked by preadsorption with the phosphopeptide used as antigen, but not by the corresponding non-phosphopeptide.
Phosphorylated
