Background: MEK2 (MAP Kinase Kinase 2 or ERK Kinase), a 46 kDa protein kinase, phosphorylates MAP kinases (ERKs) at tyrosine and threonine residues. This phosphorylation results in activation of the MAP kinases. MEK2 is seven amino acids larger and shares 81% identity with MEK1. In cultured cells, MEK2 is activated by serum. In vitro, v-Raf phosphorylates and activates MEK2. It is thought that all of these activated protein kinases are downstream of the Ras signal transduction pathway and represent an integral part of the Ras mitogenic signal. This antibody is routinely tested by western blot analysis.
