Background Information

MEK2(MAPK/ERK kinase 2) is also named as MAP2K2, MKK2, PRKMK2 and belongs to the MAP kinase kinase subfamily. MAPKK is itself dependent on Ser/Thr phosphorylation for activity catalyzed by MAP kinase kinase kinases (RAF or MEKK1). MEK1 and MEK2 are closely related, dual-specificity tyrosine/threonine protein kinases found in the Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway. 11049-1-AP can recognize both the MEK2 and MEK1.
