General description
Myelin basic protein (MBP) belongs to the intrinsically disordered protein family. It is localized in the insulating layer of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. It is an abundant protein found in the central nervous system (CNS).
Application
MBP (myelin basic protein), bovine, purified has been used in western blotting and as a standard in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Biochem/physiol Actions
Myelin basic protein (MBP), known as the ‘executive molecule of myelin′, helps in the formation of central nervous system (CNS) myelin. Elevated levels of MBP in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are detected in acute neurological disorders like exacerbating multiple sclerosis, and traumatic brain injury. It is also observed at increased levels during chronic progressive disorders including dementia, tumor cerebri, and metabolic disorders.
Quality
routinely evaluated by successfully phosphorylating MAP Kinase 2/Erk2, active (Catalog # 14-173)
Physical form
10mM MOPS, pH 7.0, with 0.05% sodium azide
Storage and Stability
2 years at -20°C

Approximately 30% of human cancers harbor oncogenic gain-of-function mutations in KRAS. Despite interest in KRAS as a therapeutic target, direct blockade of KRAS function with small molecules has yet to be demonstrated. Based on experiments that lower mRNA levels of

Protein kinases are crucial to coordinate cellular decisions and therefore their activities are strictly regulated. Previously we used ancestral reconstruction to determine how CMGC group kinase specificity evolved (Howard et al., 2014). In the present study, we reconstructed ancestral kinases

Multiple phosphorylation sites on the human estrogen receptor (hER)α were identified and shown to influence mammary carcinogenesis. In contrast, functional phosphorylation sites of hERβ have yet to be experimentally identified and validated. Here, using mass spectrometry, we uncovered three serines

Cytokines trigger the rapid assembly of multimolecular signaling complexes that direct the activation of downstream protein kinase cascades. Two protein kinases that have been linked to growth factor-regulated proliferation and survival are mitogen-activated protein/ERK kinase (MEK) and its downstream target
