Product Specifications

Product Specific Information

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 -80°C, this product is guaranteed for 6 months from date of purchase.

Protein Form: Recombinant, Full Length

Target Information

The MAP kinase-interacting kinases (MKNK1 and MKNK2) are activated by MAP kinases and regulate protein synthesis by phosphorylating eIF4E on Ser209, potentially contributing to tumorigenesis. Overexpression of Mnk2 increases phosphorylation of endogenous eIF-4E, indicating its role as an eIF-4E kinase in vivo.
Mnk2 may play a role in the response to environmental stress and cytokines. Expression of active mutants of MNK1 and MNK2 in 293 cells diminishes cap-dependent translation relative to cap-independent translation in a transient reporter assay.
Human Mnk2 is homologous to murine Mnk2 (≈94% identical) and human Mnk1 (71% identical). In vitro phosphorylation studies show that Mnk2 is a significantly better substrate than Mnk1 for Erk2, p38MAPKα, and p38MAPKβ.
