Detection of Rat and Human Phospho-MKK4 (S257/T261) antibody by Western Blot.

Detection of Rat and Human Phospho-MKK4 (S257/T261) by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysates of PC-12 rat adrenal pheochromocytoma cell line untreated (-) or treated (+) with 300 mM sorbitol for 30 minutes and HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line untreated or treated with 10 ng/mL Recombinant Human IL-1 beta (201-LB) for 20 minutes. PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Rabbit Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat Phospho-MKK4 (S257/T261) Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF2990), followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Rabbit IgG Secondary Antibody (HAF008). A specific band was detected for Phospho-MKK4 (S257/T261) at approximately 44 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 2.

Detection of MKK4 in HeLa Cells (Positive Control) and HeLa Cells treated with CIP (Calf Intestinal Phosphatase) (Negative Control).

MKK4 was detected in immersion fixed HeLa Human Cervical Epithelial Carcinoma Cells (Positive control) and absent in HeLa Human Cervical Epithelial Carcinoma Cells treated with CIP (Calf Intestinal Phosphatase) (Negative Control) using Rabbit Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat Phospho-MKK4 (S257/T261) Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF2990) at 3 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Rabbit IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL004) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to nuclei and cytoplasm. View our protocol for Fluorescent ICC Staining of Cells on Coverslips.

Background: MKK4

Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 4 (MKK4 or MAP2K4), also known as SAPK/ERK kinase 1 (SEK1) and Jun kinase kinase 1 (JNKK1), is activated by proinflammatory cytokines and environmental stresses. Activation occurs through phosphorylation at Ser257 and Thr261 by several upstream MAPK kinase kinases (MAP3Ks). MKK4 is a dual specificity protein kinase, phosphorylating and activating the JNK family of MAP kinases at Thr and Tyr positions within the phosphoacceptor sequence Thr-Pro-Tyr.

Long Name

Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase Kinase 4

Alternate Names

JNKK1, MAP2K4, MAPKK4, MEK4, PRKMK4, SERK1
