Synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the N-terminal of human ERK2, identical to the related rat and mouse sequence.
Mitogen-activated protein kinase 1, also known as MAPK1, p42MAPK, and ERK2, is an enzyme which in humans is encoded by the MAPK1 gene.1 The gene is mapped to 22q11.2. And the protein encoded by this gene is a member of the MAP kinase family. The deduced 360aa human ERK2 protein shares 98% identity with rat Erk2. The MAP kinase ERK2 is widely involved in eukaryotic signal transduction. Upon activation, it translocates to the nucleus of the stimulated cell, where it phosphorylates nuclear targets. Futhermore, the ERK pathway is necessary for experience-dependent plasticity and for long-term potentiation of synaptic transmission in the developing visual cortex. And the MAPK pathway is also involved in responses to NTN1. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
