Information about this agent

BIX02189 is a newly detected inhibitor of MEK5 and ERK5 and plays a significant role in detecting the specific effects of ERK5. Tyrosine hydroxylase enzyme is required for the synthesis of catecholamines and its levels are controlled by ERK5. BIX02189 helped to study the role of ERK5 in maintaining the levels of Tyrosine hydroxylase. This inhibitor opens the gateway to analyze the physiological effects of MEK5/ERK5 pathway.

 

ERK5 is a member of the MAPK family of proteins. Its activation is required the regular maintenance and growth of neuronal tissues. BIX 02189 inhibits the phosphorylation of ERK5. BIX 02189 has been effectively used to study the physiological role of ERK5. The molecular size of ERK5 is twice as big as ERK1/2 and the amino terminal of this protein is homologous to ERK1/2. However the carboxy terminus of this protein is unique as it has 2 proline rich regions and one NLS (source: http://www.zimbio.com).
