Biological Information
Background Information:
ERKs (extracellular signal-regulated kinase) are activated by the MEK (mitogen-activated protein kinase, or ERK kinase). MEKs are activated by members of the Raf family. The signaling pathway comprising Raf and ERK (extracellular signal-regulated kinase) lies downstream of the small guanine nucleotide binding protein Ras and mediates several apparently conflicting cellular responses, such as proliferation, apoptosis, growth arrest, differentiation, and senescence, depending on the duration and strength of the external stimulus and on cell type. An inhibitor assay may be of benefit for the treatment of cancer, diabetes, neurodegenerative disorders or asthma.

Testing Information
Procedure Summary:
MEK1 (h) is incubated with 50 mM Tris pH 7.5, 0.2 mM EGTA, 0.1% 6-mercaptoethanol, 0.01% Brij-35, 1 µM unactive MAPK2 (m), 10 mM MgAcetate and cold ATP (concentration as required). The reaction is initiated by the addition of the Mg/ATP. After incubation for 40 minutes at room temperature, 5 uL of this incubation mix is used to initiate a MAPK2 (m) assay.
Substrate:
1 uM unactive MAPK2
Tracer:
33P
ATP Concentration:
[ATP]= 10µM (Km= ND )
Incubation:
40 min at Room temperature
Control Inhibitor:
Acid Blank
Test Sample Requirements:
Please provide compounds dissolved in 100% DMSO (PBS or HBSS prohibited).
Stock solution should be ≥50× the final assay concentration (a 10 mM stock is also acceptable).
Required volume:
– <60 kinase assays: 120 µL of 50× stock
– ≥60 assays: 420 µL of 50× stock
If you supply 10 mM stocks or powder (pre-weighed), we will apply the appropriate conversion.
For batches of ~50 compounds supplied as solids, the TAT will be extended.
Minimum Order Quantity:
