Product Information
ChromoTek’s MK2-Trap Agarose are affinity beads for IP of MK2-fusion proteins. It comprises a MK2 Nanobody/ VHH conjugated to agarose beads.
| Description | Immunoprecipitation of MK2 with MK2-Trap Agarose.
 • Fast, reliable & efficient one-step immunoprecipitation • Short incubation time (1 h at 4°C) • No heavy & light antibody chains • Stable under harsh washing conditions • Suitable for downstream mass spec analysis  | 
| Applications | IP, CoIP | 
| Specificity/Target | MK2 (MAP kinase-activated protein kinase 2, MAPKAP-K2) | 
| Tested Reactivity | Human, Mouse, Hamster Posttranslational modifications: MK2-Trap recognizes unphosphorylated MK2 and Phospho-MK2 (Thr222). Specificity on Phospho-MK2 (Thr334) was not tested.  |
