Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinases (ERKs) are proteins that belong to mitogen-activated protein kinase superfamily (MAPK) and have a pivotal role in cell cycle, differentiation, transcription and learning and memory through signal transduction in the cytoplasm and the nucleus. ERK5 MAP kinase cascade has a crucial functions like- induction of special form of cardiac hypertrophy, enhanced neuronal survival and early steps of muscle cell differentiation. Anti-phospho-ERK5 (pThr218/pTyr220) antibody can be used in immunostaining. Rabbit anti- phospho-ERK5 (pThr218/pTyr220) antibody reacts specifically with ERK5 (88 kD) of human.
Immunogen
Synthetic phosphopeptide derived from the region of human ERK5 that contains threonine 218 and tyrosine 220. This sequence is conserved in human and mouse.
Application
Each vial contains enough material for 10 blots. The end user should determine the correct working dilution for their process.
Physical form
Solution in Dulbecco′s PBS, pH 7.3, with 50% glycerol, 1 mg/ml BSA and ≤ 0.1% sodium azide.

Recent studies have indicated that protease-activated receptor-1 (PAR-1) is involved in cytoprotective and anti-inflammatory responses in endothelial cells (ECs). However, the role of PAR-1 in laminar flow-mediated atheroprotective responses remains unknown. Herein, we investigated whether PAR-1 regulates laminar flow-mediated mechanotransduction

Sphingomyelin (SM) in combination with cholesterol forms specialized membrane lipid microdomains in which specific receptors and signaling molecules are localized or recruited to mediate intracellular signaling. SM-microdomain levels in mouse thymus were low in the early CD4+CD8+ double-positive (DP) stage
Diabetic patients are prone to developing Alzheimer's disease (AD), in which microglia play a critical role. However, the direct effect of high glucose (HG) on microglia and the role of extracellular-signal-regulated kinase 5 (ERK5) signaling in this interaction have not

In metastatic cancer, high expression levels of vitronectin (VN) receptors (integrins), FAK, and ERK5 are reported. We hypothesized that integrin-mediated ERK5 activation via FAK may play a pivotal role in cell adhesion, motility, and metastasis. ERK5 and FAK phosphorylation when

Prostate cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in man. Studies have shown that phthalates may act as promoters in various types of cancer; however, the role of phthalates in prostate cancer has been rarely reported. The MAPK/AP-1
