Detection of Human/Mouse/Rat MEK1 by Western Blot. Western blot shows lysates of BT-20 human breast cancer cell line, U937 human histiocytic lymphoma cell line, DU145 human prostate carcinoma cell line, and mouse brain tissue. PVDF membrane was probed with 0.2 µg/mL Goat Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat MEK1 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF2079) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF109). For additional reference, recombinant human MEK1 (5 ng) was included. A specific band for MEK1 was detected at approximately 45 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

Background: MEK1

MEK1 and MEK2, also known as MAP2K1 and MAP2K2, are activated in response to mitogenic stimuli. Activation occurs through dual phosphorylation at S218/S222 of MEK1 and S222/S226 of MEK2 by several upstream MAP3Ks. Both MEK1 and MEK2 are dual-specificity protein kinases, phosphorylating and activating ERK1 and ERK2 at Thr and Tyr positions.
