Product Overview
Clone HCE-13 is a rabbit monoclonal antibody that recognizes dual specificity mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 5 (gene MAP2K5) in human samples and is validated for Western blot and ICC/IF. The predicted molecular weight is 50.1 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 49 kDa.
MEK5 (MAP2K5) is a dual-specificity kinase that serves as the specific upstream activator of ERK5 (MAPK7). Scaffolding a complex with MEKK2 or MEKK3 and ERK5, it drives a MAPK pathway important for cell survival under stress, cardiovascular development and angiogenesis.

Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
