Description

CST's PathScan® Total MEK1 Sandwich ELISA Antibody Pair is offered as an economical alternative to our PathScan® Total MEK1 Sandwich ELISA Kit #7165. Capture and Detection antibodies (100X stocks) and HRP-conjugated secondary antibody (1000X stock) are supplied. Sufficient reagents are supplied for 4 x 96 well ELISAs. The MEK1 Capture Antibody is coated in PBS overnight in a 96 well microplate. After blocking, cell lysates are added followed by a MEK1/2 Detection Antibody and anti-Rabbit IgG, HRP-conjugated antibody. HRP substrate, TMB, is added for color development. The magnitude of the absorbance for this developed color is proportional to the quantity of total MEK1/2 protein.
Antibodies in kit are custom formulations specific to kit.

Reagents not supplied

Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS-20X) #9808 Phosphate Buffered Saline with Tween-20 (PBST-20X) #9809 Cell Lysis Buffer (10X) #9803 TMB Substrate #7004 STOP Solution #7002 Blocking Buffer: 1X PBS/0.05% Tween-20, 1% BSA 96 Well Microplates** Microplate Reader ** Antibody Pairs have been validated on Corning® 96 Well Clear Polystyrene High Bind Stripwell™ Microplates (#2592) and Corning® 96 Well EIA/RIA Easy Wash™ Clear Flat Bottom Polystyrene High Bind Microplates (#3369).

Background

MEK1 and MEK2, also called MAPK or Erk kinases, are dual-specificity protein kinases that function in a mitogen activated protein kinase cascade controlling cell growth and differentiation (1-3). Activation of MEK1 and MEK2 occurs through phosphorylation of two serine residues at positions 217 and 221, located in the activation loop of subdomain VIII, by Raf-like molecules. MEK1/2 is activated by a wide variety of growth factors and cytokines and also by membrane depolarization and calcium influx (1-4). Constitutively active forms of MEK1/2 are sufficient for the transformation of NIH/3T3 cells or the differentiation of PC-12 cells (4). MEK activates p44 and p42 MAP kinase by phosphorylating both threonine and tyrosine residues at sites located within the activation loop of kinase subdomain VIII.
