Rabbit Anti-IRAK4 (Renal carcinoma antigen NY-REN-64)

IRAK-4 (interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 4), also called REN64, in the IRAK family, is a protein kinase involved in signaling innate immune responses from Toll-like receptors. It also supports signaling from T-cell receptors. Scott (2002) mapped the REN64/IRAK4 gene to chromosome 12 based on similarity between the REN64 sequence (GenBank AF155118) and a chromosome 12 clone (GenBank AC093012). Functional analysis by Li et al. (2002) determined that IRAK4, like IRAK1 and Pelle, has auto- and cross-phosphorylation kinase activity. Precipitation and binding analyses showed weak interaction between IRAK4 and IRAK1, but IRAK4 did not interact with other IRAK family members. Overexpressed IRAK4 interacted with MYD88 and TRAF6 and activated mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and nuclear factor kappa-B (NFKB) pathways.

Applications
Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability
Lyophilized and reconstituted products are stable for 12 months after receipt at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile ddH2O. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
Immunogen
A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the N-terminal of human IRAK4, identical to the related rat and mouse sequences.
Form
Supplied as a lyophilized powder from PBS, 5% BSA, 0.05% Thimerosal, 0.05% sodium azide. Reconstitutie with 200ul sterile ddH2O.
Purity
Purified by immunoaffinity chromatography.
Specificity
Recognizes human,mouse and rat IRAK4. No crossreactivity with other proteins.

Intended for research use only. Not for use in human, therapeutic, or diagnostic applications.
