Invitrogen™ Phospho-ERK1/2 (Thr202, Tyr204) Monoclonal Antibody (MILAN8R), PerCP-eFluor™ 710, eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

Description: This MILAN8R monoclonal antibody recognizes human and mouse extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (also known as ERK1/2, p44/p42, or MAPK3/1) when phosphorylated on T202/Y204. ERK1/2 belong to a family of conserved serine/threonine protein kinases known as mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) that are involved in many cellular programs such as proliferation, differentiation, motility, and survival. ERK1/2 signaling is activated in response to numerous extracellular stimuli including mitogens, growth factors, and cytokines. The primary activators of ERK1/2 are MEK1 and MEK2 which act by phosphorylating the activation loop residues T202/Y204 and T185/Y187 in ERK1 and ERK2, respectively. Several downstream targets of ERK1/2 have been identified, including p90RSK and the transcription factor Elk-1. ERK1/2 are negatively regulated by MAPK phosphatases, known as DUSPs or MKPs, as well as by chemical inhibitors of MEK including U0126 and PD98059. Disruption of the ERK pathway is common in many types of cancer. Specificity of this MILAN8R clone was determined by ELISA, flow cytometry, and western blotting. Applications Reported: This MILAN8R antibody has been reported for use in intracellular staining followed by flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This MILAN8R antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by intracellular staining and flow cytometric analysis of stimulated normal human peripheral blood cells or stimulated mouse splenocytes.
