Product Overview
Clone HBI-13 is a rabbit monoclonal antibody that recognizes dual specificity mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 2 (gene MAP2K2) in human and mouse samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC, ICC/IF, immunoprecipitation and flow cytometry. The predicted molecular weight is 44.4 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 44 kDa.
MEK2 (MAP2K2) is a dual-specificity kinase closely related to MEK1. Activated by RAF kinases, it phosphorylates a threonine and a tyrosine in the activation loop of ERK1 and ERK2 to switch on the ERK pathway, and it is studied in growth factor signaling, RASopathies and cancer.
