Western Blot: MKK4/MEK4 Antibody (2 E4) [NBP2-22482]

Western Blot: MKK4/MEK4 Antibody (2 E4) [NBP2-22482] - Analysis of 50ug whole cell lysate.

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence: MKK4/MEK4 Antibody (2 E4) [NBP2-22482]

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: MKK4/MEK4 Antibody (2 E4) [NBP2-22482] - Analysis of MAP2K4 using anti-MAP2K4 monoclonal antibody shows specific expression in HeLa cells (shown in green) but not in negative control NRK cells. Formalin fixed cells were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in TBS for 10 minutes at room temperature. Cells were blocked with 1% Blocker BSA for 15 minutes at room temperature. Cells were probed with a mouse monoclonal antibody recognizing MAP2K4, at a dilution of 1:50 for at least 1 hour at room temperature. Cells were washed with PBS and incubated with DyLight 488 goat-anti-mouse IgG secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:400 for 30 minutes at room temperature. F-Actin (red) was stained with DY-554 phalloidin, nuclei (blue) were stained with Hoechst 33342 dye.

Background: MKK4

MKK4, also known as JNKK1 and SEK1, is a dual specificity kinase that belongs to the Ser/Thr protein kinase family. MKK4 is a direct activator of MAP kinases in response to various environmental stresses or mitogenic stimuli. MKK4 phosphorylates and activates p38 MAP kinase and JNK but not ERK 1/2 (1-2). JNK is activated by dual phosphorylation at Thr and Tyr by MKK4 and MKK7; although MKK4 will preferentially phosphorylate Tyr (3). MKK4 is also known to be a tumor suppressor, as mutations inactivating the MKK4 gene have been found in 5% of a wide variety of tumor types (4).
