By determining phosphorylated Erk1\/2 protein in your experimental model system, you can verify pathway activation in your cell lysates. You can simultaneously measure numerous different cell lysates without spending excess time and effort in performing a Western Blot analysis.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis Sandwich ELISA kit is an in vitro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the measurement of phospho-Erk1 (T202\/Y204)\/Erk2 (T185\/Y187) and total Erk1\/2 in Human, Mouse and Rat cell lysates (help normalize the results of phospho-Erk1\/2 from different cell lysate being compared). A total Erk1\/2 antibody has been coated onto a 96-well plate. Samples are pipetted into the wells and Erk1\/2 present in a sample is bound to the wells by the immobilized antibody. The wells are washed and anti-phospho-Erk1 (T202\/Y204)\/Erk2 (T185\/Y187) or anti-total-Erk1\/2 is used to detect phosphorylated or total Erk1\/2. After washing away unbound antibody, HRP-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG is pipetted to the wells. The wells are again washed, a TMB substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of Erk1 (T202\/Y204)\/Erk2 (T185\/Y187) or total Erk1\/2 bound. The Stop Solution changes the color from blue to yellow, and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm.\u003cbr\u003e\nREACH authorisation\u003cbr\u003e\nAbcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nShipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions--20°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions--20°C, Storage information--20°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nERK1 and ERK2 also known as p44 and p42 MAPK respectively are important proteins in the MAP kinase signaling pathway. They are expressed in various tissues with significant presence in the brain lungs and skin. ERK1 has a molecular weight of approximately 44 kDa while ERK2 has a molecular weight of around 42 kDa. Both proteins become activated through phosphorylation which is essential for their function in cellular processes.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nERK1 and ERK2 serve as key players in cellular growth differentiation and survival. They form part of a complex cascade where they transduce signals from the cell membrane to the nucleus after activation by phosphorylation. This phosphorylation enables them to modify various downstream targets involved in regulating gene expression and cellular response to external stimuli.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nERK1 and ERK2 are critical components of the MAPK\/ERK pathway and the Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK signaling cascade. These pathways regulate a multitude of cellular activities including proliferation and differentiation. In the MAPK\/ERK pathway proteins like Ras and Raf serve as upstream activators of ERK1 and ERK2. Both ERK1 and ERK2 also interact with other signaling proteins such as MEK1\/2 which directly phosphorylates and activates them.\u003cbr\u003e\nDysregulation of ERK1 and ERK2 is associated with various pathologies including cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Abnormal activation of these proteins often leads to uncontrolled cell proliferation contributing to oncogenesis. For instance mutations in proteins like Ras which regulate ERK1 and ERK2 can result in continuous activation and lead to tumor formation. Furthermore altered ERK1 and ERK2 signaling is linked to neurodegeneration impacting neuronal survival and function.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843621376169,"sku":"ab126445","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/es\/products\/abcam-ab126445","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
