Mitogen-activated protein kinase 3 Adenovirus
The activation of signal transduction pathways by growth factors, hormones and neurotransmitters is mediated through two closely related MAP kinases, p44 and p42, which are encoded by ERK 1 and ERK 2, respectively. Both proteins are regulated by dual phosphorylation on specific tyrosine and threonine residues mapping within a characteristic Thr-Glu-Tyr motif. In response to activation, both MAP kinases phosphorylate downstream components on serine and threonine. Upstream MAP kinase regulators include MAP kinase kinase (MEK), MEK kinase and Raf-1. ERK 3 is a MAP kinase-related protein. The human homolog of ERK 3 has also been cloned and shown to encode a 97 kDa protein. ERK 5 has been identified as an 815 amino acid protein that functions as a substrate for MEK-5, but not for MEK-1 or MEK-2. ERK 6 (also designated SAPK3) is highly expressed in human skeletal muscle and appears to function as a signal transducer during differentiation of myoblasts to myotubes.

Description (eCommerce)
Extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 (ERK1/p44), also known as mitogen-activated protein kinase 3 (MAPK3), and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 2 (ERK2/p42), also known as mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 (MAPK1), are part of a signal transduction pathway that begins with the small GTPase Ras and continues through a cascade of protein kinases that include Raf and MEK. Activation of this signaling pathway influences many cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation and survival. ERK1 is very similar in sequence to ERK2/p42 and the activities of both ERK1 and ERK2 are usually considered together as total ERK activity. More recent evidence has shown that ERK1 and ERK2 are not functionally redundant and may have very different and specific roles.
Description (Vector)
MAPK3 is a member of the MAP kinase family. MAP kinases, also known as extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs), act in a signaling cascade that regulates various cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, and cell cycle progression in response to a variety of extracellular signals. This kinase is activated by upstream kinases, resulting in its translocation to the nucleus where it phosphorylates nuclear targets. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different protein isoforms have been described.

About Storage Conditions
All our viral products should be kept at -80°C. At this temperature, the virus will remain stable for 6-12 months (and in some cases, up to 2 years). Once thawed, the product can be stored at 4°C for 2-3 weeks without significant loss of biological activity.
We recommend aliquoting your vectors into low protein binding tubes upon receipt. This helps avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, as well as prevent loss of virus. To maintain accurate titer, aliquot in at least 20ul per tube.
