General description

Extracellular signal-regulated kinase 5 (ERK5), also referred to as big-MAP kinase 1 (BMK1), is a protein that belongs to mitogen-activated protein kinases family and is expressed mainly in skeletal muscle, kidney, heart and placenta. ERK5 contains a distinct 400-amino acid C-terminal and loop-12 domain, which includes two proline-rich regions.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 789-802 of human ERK5.

Application

Anti-ERK5 (big-MAPK, BMK1) an0tibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunoblotting.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Extracellular signal-regulated kinase 5 (ERK5) has a critical role in different cellular processes like differentiation, proliferation and survival. Anti-ERK5 (big-MAPK, BMK1) antibody can be used to study the differential tissue expression and intracellular localization of the MAP Kinase isoform in normal and neoplastic tissues.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

The proteasome is essential for the selective degradation of most cellular proteins, but how cells maintain adequate amounts of proteasome is unclear. Here we show that there is an evolutionarily conserved signalling pathway controlling proteasome homeostasis. Central to this pathway
