Verification Images

Western blot analysis was performed on protein extracts (25 μg) from Hela (lane 2), NIH/3T3 (lane 3), 293T (lane 4), A549 (lane 5), Ramos (lane 6) and Mouse brain (lane 7) using ERK5 antibody. Proteins were transferred onto a 0.45 μm PVDF membrane using the Trans-Blot® Turbo™ system for 13 min. The membrane was then blocked with 5% nonfat milk in TBST (HY-K1025) for 1 h at room temperature. The primary antibody (1:1000) and loading control antibody GAPDH Antibody (HRP) (HY-P80954A) (1:5000) were diluted in 5% nonfat milk in TBST and incubated with the membrane overnight at 4°C. After washing, the membrane of primary antibody was incubated with HRP-conjugated goat anti-rabbit/mouse IgG secondary antibody (HY-P8001/HY-P8004) (1:5000) diluted in 5% nonfat milk in TBST for 1 h at room temperature. Protein bands were visualized using an Ultra High Sensitivity ECL detection kit (HY-K1005).

Western blot analysis of extracts from Hela(lane 2(20μg), NIH3T3(lane 3(20μg), Neuro-2a(lane 4(20μg) ) using ERK5 (HY-P80122) Rabbit mAb. Proteins were transferred to a PVDF membrane and blocked with 5% BSA in TBST for 2 hour at room temperature. The primary antibody (HY-P80122, 1/1000) and Loading control antibody (GAPDH, HY-P80954, 1/3000) was used in 5% BSA in TBST at 4°C overnight. Goat Anti-Mouse/Rabbit IgG-HRP Secondary Antibody (HY-P8004/HY-P8001, 1/10,000) was used for 1 hour at room temperature. -
Flow cytometric analysis of 1X106 HeLa cells labeling ERK5 Antibody(HY-P80122, red). Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilised with 90% methanol. Then stained with the primary antibody at 1/100 dilution for an hour at 4℃. AF488-conjugated Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (HY-P8002) was used as the secondary antibody at 1/1,000 dilution for 30 minutes at 4℃. Rabbit IgG Isotype Control (HY-P80879, blue) was used as the isotype control, cells without incubation with primary antibody were used as the unlabeled control (black).
Background

Function
ERK5 (MAPK7), also known as big mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 (BMK1), is a distinct member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family that integrates extracellular signals to regulate proliferation, differentiation, survival, transcriptional control, and tissue homeostasis[1][2]. Mechanistically, ERK5 is uniquely activated by MEK5 and contains an N-terminal kinase domain together with a large C-terminal transcriptional activation domain, enabling coordinated regulation of kinase-dependent and transcriptional responses[1][3]. Through the MEK5/ERK5 signaling axis, ERK5 participates in endothelial adaptation to laminar shear stress, promotes cell survival, and contributes to cardiovascular homeostasis by regulating protective transcriptional programs such as KLF2 expression[2]. In disease settings, aberrant ERK5 signaling has been associated with cancer progression, including enhanced migration, invasion, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and metastatic behavior in multiple tumor models[1][4]. Compared with related ERK isoforms, ERK5 is distinguished by its unusually large C-terminal region containing transcriptional activation and nuclear localization elements, which confer functions beyond classical MAPK catalytic signaling[1][3]. Alternative ERK5 isoforms further diversify its biological activity, and a short isoform lacking the C-terminal transcriptional domain and nuclear localization signal has been linked to altered nucleocytoplasmic trafficking, increased cell migration, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and poor outcomes in breast cancer models[5]. For experimental applications, selective ERK5 inhibitors and chemical probes have been developed to investigate ERK5-dependent signaling networks and disease mechanisms, supporting its continued use as a pharmacological target in cancer and vascular biology research[3].
