Immunogen
synthetic peptide HTGFLTEYVAT, corresponding to the non-phosphorylated form of ERK-activation loop.
Preparation Note
Prepared from a culture supernatant of bioreactor grown hybridoma.
Specificity
The antibody reacts with the monophosphorylated threonine MAP kinase (ERK-1 and ERK-2) proteins and weaker with the non-phosphorylated forms of MAP kinases. It does not recognize the diphosphorylated, and the monophosphorylated tyrosine forms of the ERK/MAPK proteins, or the JNK and p38 MAPK. The epitope recognized by the antibody contains the threonine residue within the regulatory site of MAP kinase (e.g.,Thr183 in ERK-2).
Physical form
Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
