HCA067A recognises human MEK 1, also known as mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MAPKK1). MEK 1 is a 43 kD dual specificity protein kinase which has the ability to phosphorylate both threonine and tyrosine residues. MEK1 acts downstream of Ras and Raf and is responsible for the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). It is an integral component of the MAP kinase signalling cascade that regulates cell growth and differentiation, and may also play a role in brain synaptic plasticity.
Product Form
A bivalent human recombinant Fab selected from the HuCAL® GOLD phage display library, expressed inE. coli.This Fab fragment is dimerized via a helix-turn-helix motif. The antibody is tagged with a myc-tag (EQKLISEEDL) and a his-tag (HHHHHH) at the C-terminus of the antibody heavy chain. This antibody is supplied lyophilised.

Where this product has not been tested for use in a particular technique this does not necessarily exclude its use in such procedures. Suggested working dilutions are given as a guide only. It is recommended that the user titrates the product for use in their own system using appropriate negative/positive controls.
Western Blotting
HCA067A detects a band of approximately 43kDa in HCT-116 cell lysates.
Prior to reconstitution store at +4oC.
After reconstitution store at -20oC.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
Shelf Life
12 months from date of reconstitution.
Licensed Use
For in vitro research purposes only, unless otherwise specified in writing by AbD Serotec.
