Scientific Data Images for Human/Mouse/Rat p38 alpha Antibody

Detection of Human/Mouse/Rat p38a antibody by Western Blot.

Detection of Human/Mouse/Rat p38 alpha by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysates of HeLa human cervical epithelial carcinoma cell line, NIH-3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblast cell line, and PC-12 rat adrenal pheochromocytoma cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Human/Mouse/Rat p38a Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB869) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF007). A specific band was detected for p38a at approximately 38 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 4.
Western Blot Shows Human p38a Antibody Specificity by Using Knockout Cell Line.

Western Blot Shows Human p38 alpha Specificity by Using Knockout Cell Line.

Western blot shows lysates of HEK293T human embryonic kidney parental cell line and p38a knockout HEK293T cell line (KO). PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Mouse Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat p38a Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB869) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF018). A specific band was detected for p38a at approximately 38 kDa (as indicated) in the parental HEK293T cell line, but is not detectable in knockout HEK293T cell line. GAPDH (Catalog # MAB5718) is shown as a loading control. This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

Background: p38 alpha

p38 alpha (also known as MAPK14 or SAPK2A) is a member of the p38 MAPK family which are activated by various environmental stresses and pro-inflammatory cytokines (1). The activation of p38 requires its phosphorylation by MAP kinase kinases (MKKs) or its autophosphorylation triggered by the interaction of MAP3K7IP1/TAB1 protein with this kinase (2). The substrates of p38 include transcription regulator ATF2, MEF2C, MAX, cell cycle regulator CDC25B, and tumor suppressor p53, which suggest the roles of this kinase in stress related transcription and cell cycle regulation, as well as in genotoxic stress response.
