For maximum recovery please spin prior to use. Unless noted below, aliquots of the 5 µg, 10 µg and 20 µg sizes of kinase are not recommended as materials can be used in original packaging until exhausted. For larger sizes, the number of freeze/thaws may be reduced by preparing aliquots, aliquots below 20 µL are not recommended. Please never store a kinase diluted. If properly stored at -80C, this product is guaranteed for 6 months from date of purchase.
Protein Form: Recombinant, Full Length
MAP2K1 (MEK1) kinase is a dual-specificity protein kinase that functions in mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades, controlling cell growth and differentiation. MAP2K1 is activated by a wide variety of growth factors and cytokines and also by membrane-dependent depolarization and calcium influx. Mek1 is activated by phosphorylation of serine 218 and 222 residues by Raf1. It is known to be involved in the signaling during stress activate response, apoptosis and proliferative induction by cytokines. Mutations in the gene can lead to cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome.
