Specificity

MEK 5 is also known as MAP Kinase Kinase 5, or ERK Kinase 5. AB3184 detects a 49 kDa protein, corresponding to the expeted molecular mass of Mek5, in rat brain, rat liver, rat kidney, rat heart, mouse brain, and mouse testis tissue extracts as well as in cell lysates prepared from the rat pheochromacytoma (PC12) and the human HeLa cell lines. No cross-reactivity with MEK 1, 2, 3, 4 or 6 has been observed with this antibody.

Immunogen

Human MEK 5 synthetic peptide (aa. 59-74; Genbank Accession # U71088), conjugated to KLH; identical to rat MEK5 sequence over these residues.

Application

Anti-MEK5 Antibody is an antibody against MEK5 for use in ELISA, IH, IP & WB.

ERK5, encoded by MAPK7, has been proposed to play a role in cell proliferation, thus attracting interest as a cancer therapeutic target. While oncogenic RAS or BRAF cause sustained activation of the MEK1/2-ERK1/2 pathway, ERK5 is directly activated by MEK5.

MKK4/7 are kinases that phosphorylate JNKs and regulate the MAPK signaling pathway. Their overexpression has been associated with tumorigenesis and aggressiveness in cancers such as breast, prostate, non-small cell lung, and pediatric leukemia, making them a potential target for inhibitor

The dual protein kinase-transcription factor, ERK5, is an emerging drug target in cancer and inflammation, and small-molecule ERK5 kinase inhibitors have been developed. However, selective ERK5 kinase inhibitors fail to recapitulate ERK5 genetic ablation phenotypes, suggesting kinase-independent functions for ERK5.

Melatonin, the primary hormone involved in circadian entrainment, plays a significant role in bone physiology. This study aimed to assess the role of MEK1/2 and MEK5 in melatonin-mediated actions in mouse and human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and on bone

The MEK5/Erk5 pathway mediates beneficial effects of laminar flow, a major physiological factor preventing vascular dysfunction. Forced Erk5 activation induces a protective phenotype in endothelial cell (EC) that is associated with a dramatically decreased migration capacity of those cells. Transcriptional
