Rabbit Anti-phospho-MEK7 (Thr275)/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
The protein encoded by this gene is a dual specificity protein kinase that belongs to the MAP kinase kinase family. This kinase specifically activates MAPK8/JNK1 and MAPK9/JNK2, and this kinase itself is phosphorylated and activated by MAP kinase kinase kinases including MAP3K1/MEKK1, MAP3K2/MEKK2,MAP3K3/MEKK5, and MAP4K2/GCK. This kinase is involved in the signal transduction mediating the cell responses to proinflammatory cytokines, and environmental stresses. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found, but only one transcript variant has been supported and defined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
Function:
Stress activated, dual specificity kinase that activates the JUN kinases MAPK8/JNK1, MAPK9/JNK2 and MAPK10/JNK3.
Subcellular Location:
Nucleus. Cytoplasm.
Tissue Specificity:
Ubiquitous; with highest level of expression in skeletal muscle. Isoform 3 is found at low levels in placenta, fetal liver, and skeletal muscle.
Post-translational modifications:
Activated by phosphorylation on Ser/Thr.
Similarity:
Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily.
STE Ser/Thr protein kinase family.
MAP kinase kinase subfamily.
Contains 1 protein kinase domain.
