Protocol
Available protocols: Western Blotting
Specificity / Sensitivity
Phospho-MKK7 (Ser271/Thr275) Antibody detects endogenous levels of MKK7 phosphorylated at serine 271 and threonine 275. This antibody does not cross-react with phosphorylated SEK1/MKK4 or other phosphorylated MAP kinase kinases.
Species Reactivity: Human
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ser271/Thr275 of human MKK7. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Background
MKK7 is a MAP kinase kinase that serves as a specific activator of the SAPK/JNK pathway (1,2). MKK7 is strongly activated by TNF-α, as well as other environmental stresses, whereas SEK1/MKK4, which activates both p38 and SAPK/JNK pathways, is not activated by TNF-α (2). Sequence alignment of the activation loop of the MAP kinase kinase family members indicates that Ser271 and Thr275 are potential phosphorylation sites that are crucial for the kinase acivity.
