Anti-MAP2K5 antibody produced in rabbit

HPA027755    Human Protein Atlas characterization data

Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 5 (MAP2K5) is part of the mitogen-activated protein kinase family. The MAP2K5 gene encodes three protein-coding transcripts, consists of 20 exons and is localized on human chromosome 15q23. MEK5α is expressed in the liver and MEK5β is expressed in terminally differentiated tissues.

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 5 (MAP2K5) has a role in signaling pathways which are mediated by proteins like brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) and nerve growth factor (NGF). It also responds to various stress stimuli. MEK5α, one of the three MAP2K5 isoforms, activates extracellular signal regulated kinase 5 (ERK5). On the other hand, MEK5β suppresses ERK5 signaling. Upregulation of MEK5α has been linked to tumor growth.

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Corresponding Antigen APREST77993.

Solution in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide.
