The DUSP26 Antibody (PAC040490) is a highly specific tool for researchers studying dual-specificity phosphatase 26, a key enzyme involved in regulating cellular signaling pathways. This polyclonal antibody, produced in rabbits, is ideal for detecting and quantifying DUSP26 protein levels in human samples, particularly in Western blot applications.Dual-specificity phosphatase 26, also known as MKP8, plays a crucial role in dephosphorylating and inactivating key signaling molecules, thus modulating cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Dysregulation of DUSP26 has been linked to various diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and immune-related conditions.
By targeting DUSP26, researchers can gain valuable insights into disease mechanisms and potentially identify novel therapeutic targets.With its high specificity and sensitivity, the DUSP26 Antibody (PAC040490) is a valuable tool for studies in oncology, neurology, and immunology. Its ability to accurately detect DUSP26 protein levels makes it an essential reagent for researchers seeking to understand the role of this enzyme in health and disease.

Immunofluorescence staining of SH-SY5Y cells with PACO40490 at 1:200, counter-stained with DAPI. The cells were fixed in 4% formaldehyde, permeabilized using 0.2% Triton X-100 and blocked in 10% normal Goat Serum. The cells were then incubated with the antibody overnight at 4°C. The secondary antibody was Alexa Fluor 488-congugated AffiniPure Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG(H+L).

Background:
Inactivates MAPK1 and MAPK3 which leads to dephosphorylation of heat shock factor protein 4 and a reduction in its DNA-binding activity. Inhibits MAP kinase p38 by dephosphorylating it and inhibits p38-mediated apoptosis in anaplastic thyroid cancer cells. Can also induce activation of MAP kinase p38 and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK).

NCBI Summary:
This gene encodes a member of the tyrosine phosphatase family of proteins and exhibits dual specificity by dephosphorylating tyrosine as well as serine and threonine residues. This gene has been described as both a tumor suppressor and an oncogene depending on the cellular context. This protein may regulate neuronal proliferation and has been implicated in the progression of glioblastoma through its ability to dephosphorylate the p53 tumor suppressor. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2015]
