Western Blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (Frozen Sections) (IHC (fro))
Specificity
This antibody recognizes the ~39k p38 MAPK protein phosphorylated at Thr180/Tyr182. Immunolabeling is blocked by preadsorption of the antibody with the phosphopeptide used as antigen but not by the corresponding dephosphopeptide.
Cross-Reactivity (Details)
Species reactivity (expected):Bovine, Canine, Chicken, Mouse, Zebrafish and non-Human Primates. Species reactivity (tested):Human.
Purification
Sequential Chromatography on phospho- and dephosphopeptide affinity columns.
Immunogen
Phosphopeptide corresponding to amino acid residues surrounding the phospho-Thr180 and phospho-Tyr182 of rat p38 MAPK.
Western blot: 1/1000. Immunohistochemistry: 1/250-1/500. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Target
MAPK14
(Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase 14 (MAPK14))
The three Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases (MAPKs) are evolutionarily conserved protein kinases that control a vast array of cellular processes. p38 MAPK is one of these kinases and it is activated by both inflammatory cytokines and by stress (Johnson and Lapadat, 2002, Shi and Gaestel, 2002). The p38 MAPK is thought to be particularly important in diseases like asthma and autoimmunity but it also plays important roles in the stress response of the nervous system (Philip and Armstead, 2003, Ying et al., 2002). Like the other MAPKs, p38 is activated by a dual specificity kinase that phosphorylates Thr180 and Tyr182 (Lin et al., 1995).Synonyms: CSBP, CSBP1, CSBP2, CSPB1, Cytokine suppressive anti-inflammatory drug-binding protein, MAX-interacting protein 2, MXI2, Mitogen-activated protein kinase 14, SAPK2A, p38 alpha
