Protocol Available protocols: Western Blotting, Immunoprecipitation Specificity / Sensitivity MAPKAPK-2 (D1E11) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total MAPKAPK-2 protein. This antibody is not known to cross-react with other MAPKAPK proteins. Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey, Bovine, Pig Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Pro381 of human MAPKAPK-2 protein. Background In response to cytokines, stress, and chemotactic factors, MAP kinase-activated protein kinase 2 (MAPKAPK-2) is rapidly phosphorylated and activated. It has been shown that MAPKAPK-2 is a direct target of p38 MAPK (1). Multiple residues of MAPKAPK-2 are phosphorylated in response to stress. However, only four residues (Thr25, Thr222, Ser272, and Thr334) are phosphorylated by p38 MAPK in an kinase assay (2). Phosphorylation at Thr222, Ser272, and Thr334 appears to be essential for the activity of MAPKAPK-2 (2). Thr25 is phosphorylated by p42 MAPK , but is not required for the activation of MAPKAPK-2 (2).
