Antibody Code: NK107-3

Antibody Target Type: Pan-specific

Protein UniProt: Q13233

Protein SigNET: Q13233

Antibody Type: Polyclonal

Antibody Host Species: Rabbit

Antibody Immunogen Source: Human MEKK1 (MAP3K1) sequence peptide Cat. No.:
Antibody Immunogen Sequence: CGSTHFTRMRRRLMAIAD

Antibody Immunogen Description: Corresponds to amino acid residues G35 to D51; N-terminus

Production Method: The immunizing peptide was produced on an A.B.I. automated peptide synthesizer. The peptide was cleaved from the synthesis resin with HF and purified by reverse-phase hplc chromatography. Purity was assessed by analytical hplc and the amino acid sequence confirmed by amino acid analysis. This peptide was coupled to KLH prior to immunization into rabbits. New Zealand White rabbits were subcutaneously injected with KLH-coupled immunizing peptide every 4 weeks. The sera from these animals was applied onto an agarose column to which the immunogen peptide was thio-linked. Antibody was eluted from the column with 0.1 M glycine, pH 2.5. Subsequently, the antibody solution was neutralized to pH 7.0 with saturated Tris.

Antibody Modification: Unconjugated. Contact KInexus if you are interest in having the antibody biotinylated or coupled with fluorescent dyes.

Antibody Concentration: 1 mg/ml

Storage Buffer: 100 mM Tris-glycine, pH 7.0

Storage Conditions: For long term storage, keep frozen at -40°C or lower. Stock solution can be kept at +4°C for more than 3 months, but either 0.1% sodium azide or 0.05% Thimerasol should be added. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Product Use: Western blotting | Antibody microarray

Antibody Dilution Recommended: 2 µg/ml for immunoblotting

Antibody Potency: Strong immunoreactivity with recombinant murine MEKK1 protein expressed in E. coli.

Antibody Species Reactivity: Human; Mouse; Rat

Antibody Positive Control: The observed molecular mass of the processed target protein on SDS-PAGE gels is reported to be around 130-170 kDa.

Antibody Cross Reactivity: Cross-reactivity with ~78 kDa proteins in crude extracts from sea star oocytes., mouse oligodendrocytes, and sheep platelets.

Scientific Background: MEKK1 (MAP3K1) is a protein-serine/threonine kinase of the STE group and STE11 family. It can phosphorylate MEK1 (MAP2K1) and MKK4 (MAP2K4) leading to activation of ERK and JNK kinases and activation of CHUK and IKKb. It is ctivated by phosphorylation at T1400 and T1412. Phosphorylation of S67 inhibits its interaction with JNK1. MEKK1 may be a tumour suppressor protein in view of the higher frequency of deletions and insertions of the gene encoding this protein kinase in human tumours. Defects in MEKK1 have been linked with the rare condition 46xy Sex Reversal 3, which can include symptoms such as gonadal dysgenesis, testis abnormalities, and testicular cancer.
