Elk-1 is a transcription factor that is activated by mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and whose main function is the regulation of growth-related proteins in response to extracellular stimuli. Because of the importance of Elk-1 to the regulation of successful cell growth, accurate monitoring of Elk-1 in cells, tissues and animals is crucial for many biomedical research and drug development projects.
ELK-1 (amino acids 307-428) Human Recombinant is produced in E.Coli as a maltose binding protein (MBP) fusion protein with an amino-terminal polyhistidine tag and a c-terminal myc tag (EQKLISEEDL), and having a molecular mass of 60 kDa.
Elk-1 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
