Rabbit Anti-TRAF4 (CART1, MLN62, RNF83, Cysteine-rich domain associated with RING and Traf domains protein 1, Metastatic lymph node gene 62 protein, , RING finger protein 83, Malignant 62, TNF receptor-associated factor 4)

TRAF4 (TNF Receptor-Associated Factor 4), also called CART1 or MLN62, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TRAF3 gene. TRAF4 is a member of the TNF receptor associated factor (TRAF) family, a family of scaffold proteins. Tomasetto et al. (1995) identified genes that are overexpressed in breast cancer by differential screening of cDNAs from breast cancer-derived metastatic axillary lymph nodes. The TRAF4 cDNA, which they designated MLN62, was mapped to 17q11-q12 by radioisotopic in situ hybridization. To investigate the biologic function of TRAF4, Regnier et al. (2002) generated Traf4-deficient mice by gene disruption.

Applications
Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution
Immunohistochemistry: paraffin 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 C-terminal of human TRAF4, 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 TRAF4. No crossreactivity with other proteins.

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