General description
MNK2 is a serine threonine kinase that phosphorylates endogenous eIF4E and thereby regulates protein translation and cell growth. This kinase inhibits apoptotic responses induced by arsenic trioxide. MNK2 has two distinct splice forms, namely; MNK2a and MNK2b. The localization and function of MNK2 splice variants are directed by their N and C termini . Anti-MNK2 (N-terminal) antibody is specific for human MNK2. The antibody is also expected to react with mouse and rat MNK2. In immunoblotting, staining of the MNK2 band is specifically inhibited by the immunizing peptide.
Immunogen
synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 51-64 of human MNK2 (corresponding to isoforms 1 and 2), conjugated to KLH via a C-terminal added cysteine residue. The corresponding sequence is conserved in human, rat, and mouse.
Application
Anti-MNK2 (N-terminal) antibody is suitable for use in immunocytochemistry (2-5 μg/mL using paraformaldehyde fixed, MNK2-transfected, HEK-293T cells) and indirect immunofluorescence. The antibody may also be used for immunoprecipitation (2-4 μg) and western blot (1-2 μg/mL) using lysates of HEK-293T cells transfected with human MNK2.
