General description

MNK2 is a serine threonine kinase that phosphorylates endogenous eIF4E and thereby regulates protein translation and cell growth. This kinase inhibits apoptotic responses induced by arsenic trioxide. MNK2 has two distinct splice forms, namely; MNK2a and MNK2b. The localization and function of MNK2 splice variants are directed by their N and C termini . Anti-MNK2 (N-terminal) antibody is specific for human MNK2. The antibody is also expected to react with mouse and rat MNK2. In immunoblotting, staining of the MNK2 band is specifically inhibited by the immunizing peptide.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 51-64 of human MNK2 (corresponding to isoforms 1 and 2), conjugated to KLH via a C-terminal added cysteine residue. The corresponding sequence is conserved in human, rat, and mouse.

Application

Anti-MNK2 (N-terminal) antibody is suitable for use in immunocytochemistry (2-5 μg/mL using paraformaldehyde fixed, MNK2-transfected, HEK-293T cells) and indirect immunofluorescence. The antibody may also be used for immunoprecipitation (2-4 μg) and western blot (1-2 μg/mL) using lysates of HEK-293T cells transfected with human MNK2.

Physical form

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

When mTOR inhibitor rapalogs prevent cap-dependent translation of cell-cycle proteins like c-myc, continuing tumor cell growth depends on cap-independent translation, which is mediated by internal ribosome entry sites (IRESes) located in the 5'-UTR (untranslated region) of transcripts. To investigate if

Currently, there are no effective therapies for patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), an aggressive and highly metastatic disease. Activation of eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) by mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-interacting kinases 1 and 2 (Mnk1/2) play a critical role

The cap-binding translation initiation factor eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) is phosphorylated in vivo at Ser209 in response to a variety of stimuli. In this paper, we show that the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signal-integrating kinase Mnk2 phosphorylates eIF4E at

Eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) is a key component of the translational machinery and an important modulator of cell growth and proliferation. The activity of eIF4E is thought to be regulated by interaction with inhibitory binding proteins (4E-BPs) and phosphorylation

The cap-binding eukaryotic initiation factor eIF4E is phosphorylated by the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase-interacting kinases (Mnk's). Three forms of the Mnk's exist in human cells: Mnk1, Mnk2a, and Mnk2b. These last two are derived from the same gene by alternative
