Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes dual specificity mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 7 (gene MAP2K7) in human, monkey, mouse and rat samples and is validated for flow cytometry, ICC/IF, IHC and Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 47.5 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 47 kDa.
MKK7 (MAP2K7) is a dual-specificity kinase of the stress-activated MAPK pathways. It preferentially phosphorylates the JNK kinases on their activation loop and, together with MKK4, is required for full JNK activation in response to cytokines and cellular stress, so it is studied in apoptosis, inflammation and development.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.1–0.25 µg/mL (Human, Monkey, Mouse, Rat) |
|---|---|
| IHC (paraffin sections) | 1–2 µg/mL (Human) |

| Flow cytometry (fixed cells) | 1–3 µg/1×106 cells (Human) |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human HeLa cells, monkey COS-7 cells, human Jurkat cells, human Raji cells, rat testis tissue, mouse testis tissue.
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 0.25 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): human testicular cancer tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Conditions in the example images (IHC): heat-mediated antigen retrieval in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0).
Samples with confirmed staining (ICC/IF): PC-3 cells.
Samples with a confirmed signal (flow cytometry): U87 cells.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide from the N-terminal region of human MEK7. The peptide sequence is conserved in mouse and rat.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, monkey, mouse and rat. UniProt places dual specificity mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 7 in the nucleus and cytoplasm. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Ubiquitous. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
