Fast Activated Cell-based ELISA (FACE™) Kits provide a simple, sensitive method for detecting protein phosphorylation directly in the cell, without making extracts or performing electrophoresis and membrane blotting. These 96-well, high-throughput assays are available in both colorimetric and chemiluminescent formats for over 20 different targets (see list at right). For complete details, click the FACE™ Method tab below.
FACE ERK1/2 Kits provide 96 rxns each of 2 antibodies that enable you to monitor and compare the levels of both phosphorylated and total ERK1/2. The phospho-ERK antibody recognizes ERK1 when phosphorylated at Thr202 and Tyr204, as well as ERK2 when phosphorylated at Thr185 and Tyr187; the total-ERK antibody recognizes ERK1 and ERK2 proteins regardless of their phosphorylation states.

Figure 1: Colorimetric measurement of phosphorylated ERK and total ERK.Murine Macrophage 4/4 cells were cultured in 96-well plates and serum-starved for 16 hours. Cells were then stimulated with the indicated amounts of Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) for 10 minutes and fixed. Total ERK and phospho ERK were each assayed in triplicate using the phospho-ERK and total-ERK antibodies included in the FACE ERK1/2 Kit. Data was plotted after correction for cell number (performed through use of Crystal Violet). Note that the induction treatment did not affect the overall level of total ERK.
Antibody Specificities
The phospho-ERK antibody is specific for phosphorylated ERK1 and ERK2 and was raised against a synthetic phospho-peptide corresponding to residues Thr202 and Tyr204 of human ERK1 and Thr185 and Tyr187 of human ERK2. This antibody recognizes both phosphorylated ERK1 and ERK2. It does not recognize unphosphorylated ERK1 or ERK2, nor does it recognize other phosphorylated proteins. The total-ERK antibody recognizes ERK1 and ERK2 regardless of the phosphorylation state.
ERK1/2 Overview
The extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1 and ERK2), also called p44 and p42 MAP kinases, are members of the Mitogen Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) family of proteins found in all eukaryotes. Because the 44 kDa ERK1 and the 42 kDa ERK2 are highly homologous and both function in the same protein kinase cascade, the two proteins are often referred to collectively as ERK1/2 or p44/p42 MAP kinase. The ERK1/2 signaling cascade has been shown to be a critical regulator of cell differentiation, cell physiology and neuronal function. Aberrant control of ERK1/2 activity has been implicated in a variety of pathological conditions, including cancer and autoimmune diseases, and efficient study methods are in demand.
FACE™ の使用法
96ウェルプレートで細胞を培養し, 目的の経路を誘導する刺激を与えます。刺激を与えた後, 細胞を固定することでリン酸化を含むタンパク質修飾が保持されます。ブロッキング反応の後, それぞれのウェルに目的タンパク質に特異的な一次抗体, 続いてHRP標識二次抗体を加えます。その後, 発色試薬を加えることにより, 比色定量または化学発光による定量を簡便に行うことができます (図1)。また, キット付属のCrystal Violetを用いて細胞数を補正することができます。それぞれのFACE Kitには目的タンパク質全体とリン酸化型を認識する一次抗体が含まれます。これにより, 細胞数と細胞中の目的タンパク質の総量に対してのリン酸化型タンパク質量を解析することができます。FACEはリン酸化型タンパク質を解析することのできるキットで, 定量的かつ再現性のある結果が得られます。
