Overview

Host Type: Rabbit
Antibody Clonality: Polyclonal
Regulatory Status: RUO
Target Species:
  • Amphibian
  • Human
  • Mouse
  • Rat
Applications:
  • Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
  • Western Blot (WB)
Storage:
For long term storage -80˚C is recommended, but shorter term storage at -20˚C is also acceptable as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to the presence of 50% glycerol. Stock solutions are stable for a minimum of 1 year at -20˚

Further Information

Application Note:
Immunolabeling in UV treated Jurkat Cells or in a rat brain lysate is blocked by the Thr202/Tyr204 phosphopeptide used as antigen but not by the corresponding dephosphopeptide. Applications include Dot Blots (DB) and Western Blots (WB). Human, mouse, rat and Xenopus have 100% amino acid sequence identity with the antigen used to raise the antibody. Dot blots and Western blots with a rat brain lysate were performed with each lot. When internally tested under ideal conditions the working dilutions were 1:1000 for DB and WB.
Background:
Extracellular-Signal Regulated Kinase/Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (ERK/MAPK) is an integral component of cellular signaling during mitogenesis and differentiation of mitotic cells and also is thought to play a key role in learning and memory. The activity of this kinase is regulated by dual phosphorylation at Thr202 and Tyr204.
