MKK4/MEK4 Antibody (323042) [Unconjugated]

MKK4 was detected in immersion fixed HeLa human cervical epithelial carcinoma cell line using Mouse Anti-Human MKK4 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB3390) at 3 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL007) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm and nuclei. View our protocol for Fluorescent ICC Staining of Cells on Coverslips.

Background

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.

Limitations
