Overview:
MEK1 is a member of the dual specificity protein kinase family that acts as a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinase. MEK1 lies upstream of MAPK/ERK and stimulates the enzymatic activity of MAPK/ERK upon a wide variety of extra- and intracellular signals. As an essential component of MAPK/ERK signal transduction pathway, MEK1 is involved in many cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, transcription regulation and development (1). Constitutive activation of MEK1 results in cellular transformation. Thus, MEK1 represents a likely target for pharmacologic intervention in proliferative disease such as cancer (2).

Specificity:
Recognizes the MEK1 protein
Cross Reactivity:
Western blot human MEK1
Immunoprecipitation of human MEK1
MEK1 from other species may also be detectable.
Host / Isotype / Clone#:
Mouse, IgG1, 7F1
Immunogen:
Recombinant full length humanMEK1 protein
Purification:
Affinity purified using Protein G
Stability:
Store at 4°C (add 0.1% NaN3) for several months, and at -20°C for longer periods. For optimal storage, aliquot target into smaller quantities after centrifugation and store at recommended temperature. For optimal performance, avoid repeated handling and multiple freeze/thaw cycles.
