Anti-MEK2 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

MAP kinase family. This kinase is known to play a critical role in mitogen growth factor signal transduction. It phosphorylates and thus activates MAPK1/ERK2 and MAPK2/ERK3. The activation of this kinase itself is dependent on the Ser/Thr phosphorylation by MAP kinase. Mutations in this gene cause cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome (CFC syndrome), a disease characterized by heart defects, mental retardation, and distinctive facial features similar to those found in Noonan syndrome. The inhibition or degradation of this kinase is also found to be involved in the pathogenesis of Yersinia and anthrax.

• Type: Primary
• Application: Western Blot, ELISA, Immunohistochemistry, Immunocytochemistry, Immunofluorescence
• Species: Human, Mouse, Rat, Canine, Monkey
• Recombinant: Yes

• Cancer: MEK2 is involved in the MAP kinase signaling pathway, which is often dysregulated in cancer. Inhibition or degradation of MEK2 has been found to be involved in the pathogenesis of Yersinia and anthrax infections.
• Yersinia and Anthrax Infections: The inhibition or degradation of MEK2 is found to be involved in the pathogenesis of Yersinia and anthrax infections

• MAP Kinase Signaling: MEK2 is a dual specificity protein kinase that belongs to the MAP kinase kinase family. It plays a critical role in mitogen growth factor signal transduction by phosphorylating and activating MAPK1/ERK2 and MAPK2/ERK3.
• T-cell Development and Activation: Although the ERK/MAP kinase cascade is known to be involved in T-cell development and activation, MEK2 appears to be nonessential for thymocyte differentiation and T-cell-receptor-induced proliferation and apoptosis
