Antibody Code: NP007-4

Antibody Target Type: Pan-specific

Protein UniProt: Q13115

Protein SigNET: Q13115

Antibody Type: Polyclonal

Antibody Host Species: Rabbit

Antibody Immunogen Source: Human DUSP4 (MKP2) sequence peptide Cat. No.: PE-01BAW85
Antibody Immunogen Sequence: CSWFMEAIEYIDAVKD

Antibody Immunogen Description: Corresponds to amino acid residues S257 to D271

Production Method: The immunizing peptide was produced by solid phase synthesis on a multipep peptide synthesizer and purified by reverse-phase hplc chromatography. Purity was assessed by analytical hplc and the amino acid sequence confirmed by mass spectrometry 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 for 4 months. 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

Scientific Background: DUSP4 (MKP2, VH2) is a dual specificity phosphatase that dephosphorylates MAP kinase ERK2 (and ERK1) on both 'T183' and 'Y185', and inhibits its activity during mitosis following initial growth factor activation.
