Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) regulate a wide range of functions by modulating cellular signal transduction. These functions include cellular growth, differentiation, movement and apoptosis. Conventional MAPKs comprise of the ERK1/2, p38, JNK and ERK5 kinase families. ERK1 and ERK2 are highly conserved serine/threonine kinases that are responsive to growth factors_x000D_ Anti-MAP Kinase 2 (ERK-2) antibody is specific for MAPK2 (42 kDa) in mice, humans and rats. This antibody does not cross react with MAP kinase 1 (ERK-1) nor does it interfere with the kinase activity._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ recombinant mouse MAP Kinase 2 (MAPK2, ERK-2)._x000D_ Application_x000D_ Anti-MAP Kinase 2 (ERK-2) antibody is suitable for use in western blot (0.5-2 μg/mL using human A431 cells, mouse 3T3 fibroblasts or rat L6 cells). The product can also be used for immunoprecipitation (5 μg, using 0.5-1 mg of a mouse 3T3 fibroblast lysate)._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Solution in 0.02 M phosphate buffer, pH 7.6, 0.25 M NaCl, and ≤ 0.1% sodium azide_x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals.
