MEK1 N-Term Blocking Peptide

Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1, also known as MKK or MEK, is an integral component of the MAP kinase cascade that regulates cell growth and differentiation. This pathway also plays a key role in synaptic plasticity in the brain. Activated MEK 1 acts as a dual specificity kinase phosphorylating both a threonine and a tyrosine residue on MAP kinase. MEK1 and MEK2 are about 80% identical to each other, and nearly identical within the kinase domain. MEK1 is ideal for investigators involved in Neuroscience, Cell Signaling and Cancer Research. MEK1 N-term blocking peptide is suitable as a control for polyclonal or monoclonal Anti-MEK1 in immunological assays.
