Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets dual specificity mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 6 (gene MAP2K6) in human and rat samples and is validated for Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 37.5 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 38 kDa.
MKK6 (MAP2K6) is a dual-specificity kinase that, together with MKK3, phosphorylates and activates the p38 MAP kinases. It is switched on by pro-inflammatory cytokines and environmental stress and is studied in inflammation, stress-induced cell death and differentiation.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL (Human, Rat) |
|---|
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human HeLa cells, human A549 cells, rat C6 cells.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Immunogen
Recombinant human MEK6 fragment (Ala280–Asp334), expressed in E. coli. Sequence identity with the mouse ortholog: 92.7%.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human and rat. UniProt places dual specificity mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 6 in the nucleus and cytoplasm. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Isoform 2 is only expressed in skeletal muscle. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.

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).
