H-GYGRKKRRQRRR-G-MPKKKPTPIQLNP-NH2 MTPTAT-G-MEK113 Lyophilized solid. Supplied as a trifluoroacetate salt. PROTECT FROM LIGHT. HYGROSCOPIC. PACKAGED UNDER INERT GAS. A cell-permeable 13-amino acid peptide corresponding to the N-terminus of MEK1 (MAPKK) that is fused to the HIV-TAT membrane translocating peptide (MTP) sequence via a glycine linker. Acts as a specific inhibitor of ERK activation and blocks the transcriptional activity of Elk1. Selectively binds to ERK2 and prevents its interaction with MEK (IC50 = 210 nM). Potently blocks ERK activation in PMA-stimulated NIH 3T3 cells and NGF-treated PC12 cells (IC50 = 29 µM). Does not affect the activation of JNKs or p38. Purity: ≥95% by HPLC.
