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 specifically with the non-phosphorylated, non-activated form of MAP kinase (ERK-1 and ERK-2). Weak cross-reaction is observed with monophosphorylated (threonine or tyrosine), but not with diphosphorylated peptides of MAPK. The antibody does not recognize JNK or p38 MAPK. The epitope recognized by the antibody contains non-phosphorylated threonine 183 and tyrosine 185 which resides within the ERK-activation loop (e.g., amino acids 178-188 in ERK-2).
Physical form
Solution in phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
