Anti-MKP-2 Antibody

Manufactured by Antibodies.com, this affinity-purified polyclonal reagent is raised in rabbit against the dual specificity protein phosphatase 4 (DUSP4), also referred to as MKP-2, MAP kinase phosphatase 2, or VH2. The immunogen is a synthesized peptide derived from the internal region of the human MKP-2 protein, and the resulting IgG antibody recognizes endogenous levels of MKP-2 across multiple species, with verified reactivity against human, mouse, rat, and monkey samples. Each vial is supplied as an unconjugated liquid at 1 mg/mL in a working formulation of PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA, and 0.02% sodium azide, and is offered here in the 50 µl size suitable for routine laboratory use. The antibody is validated for three complementary readouts, namely Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and ELISA, making it a flexible tool for studies of MAPK signaling regulation. For short-term transit the product is shipped at 4°C; upon receipt it should be aliquoted and stored at -20°C, with repeated freeze/thaw cycles avoided to preserve performance. Intended strictly for research applications and not for diagnostic or therapeutic use, this Antibodies.com reagent provides a reliable polyclonal option for investigators profiling MKP-2 expression in cell and tissue samples.
