Product details:
Human/Mouse /Rat ERK2 SimpleStep ELISA® kit is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of ERK2 protein in Cell Lysate, Tissue extracts. Quantitate Human/Mouse /Rat ERK2 with 18.483 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
-Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
-Fully validated in biological samples
-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips, available in 10-pack (10 x 96-well plates)
-Also available in a fully validated 384-well format.

ERK2 also known as Extracellular signal-Regulated Kinase 2 is a serine/threonine protein kinase in the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family with a mass of approximately 42 kDa. This kinase is expressed in many cell types and tissues including the brain liver and lungs. ERK2 plays a significant role in cellular processes such as proliferation differentiation and survival. It is often analyzed using specific assays including ERK2 ELISA and examination of cell lysate samples to determine expression levels and activity.
Biological function summary
ERK2 influences several key cellular functions. It functions as part of a signaling cascade transmitting signals from the exterior to the cell nucleus. In this cascade ERK2 is often part of a multi-protein complex that undergoes sequential phosphorylation. Through these mechanisms ERK2 regulates gene expression and is a pivotal component of the MAPK/ERK pathway ensuring the proper response to growth signals and stress stimuli.
Pathways
ERK2 is a central component of the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway and the PI3K/AKT pathway. These pathways play critical roles in cell cycle regulation and apoptosis. ERK2 activation leads to its interaction with the MEK1/2 proteins which further allows the transmission of mitogenic signals. The interplay between ERK2 and related proteins like E460 often impacts cellular growth and development as it precisely controls the phosphorylation events within the pathway.
ERK2 is connected to certain types of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Aberrations in ERK2 signaling pathways are often linked to tumorigenesis where altered interaction with proteins such as Raf and MEK1/2 disrupts cell cycle regulation and apoptosis. In neurodegenerative disorders dysregulated ERK2 activity has been associated with proteins contributing to Alzheimer’s disease indicating its involvement in neuronal survival and stress response mechanisms.
