Anti-Human RNF31 Antibody Pair

Product Description: E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase RNF31 (RNF31), or Ring Finger Protein 31, is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that plays a pivotal role in the ubiquitin-proteasome system, specifically within the linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC). This protein is essential for conjugating linear polyubiquitin chains to target substrates, thereby regulating various cellular processes, including immune signaling, inflammation, and apoptosis. RNF31 has been implicated in several diseases, particularly Immunodeficiency with Autoinflammation, where its dysfunction leads to impaired immune responses and increased susceptibility to infections. Additionally, RNF31 is associated with the progression of certain cancers, such as hepatocellular carcinoma, where it promotes cell proliferation and invasion through the activation of the NF-kappaB signaling pathway. This dual role highlights the importance of RNF31 in both maintaining immune homeostasis and contributing to tumorigenesis. Protein Function: E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase component of the LUBAC complex which conjugates linear ('Met-1'-linked) polyubiquitin chains to substrates and plays a key role in NF-kappa-B activation and regulation of inflammation (PubMed:17006537, PubMed:19136968, PubMed:20005846, PubMed:21455173, PubMed:21455180, PubMed:21455181, PubMed:22863777, PubMed:28189684, PubMed:28481331). LUBAC conjugates linear polyubiquitin to IKBKG and RIPK1 and is involved in activation of the canonical NF-kappa-B and the JNK signaling pathways (PubMed:17006537, PubMed:19136968, PubMed:20005846, PubMed:21455173, PubMed:21455180, PubMed:21455181, PubMed:22863777, PubMed:28189684). Linear ubiquitination mediated by the LUBAC complex interferes with TNF-induced cell death and thereby prevents inflammation (PubMed:21455173, PubMed:28189684). LUBAC is recruited to the TNF-R1 signaling complex (TNF-RSC) following polyubiquitination of TNF-RSC components by BIRC2 and/or BIRC3 and to conjugate linear polyubiquitin to IKBKG and possibly other components contributing to the stability of the complex (PubMed:20005846, PubMed:27458237). The LUBAC complex is also involved in innate immunity by conjugating linear polyubiquitin chains at the surface of bacteria invading the cytosol to form the ubiquitin coat surrounding bacteria (PubMed:28481331, PubMed:34012115). LUBAC is not able to initiate formation of the bacterial ubiquitin coat, and can only promote formation of linear polyubiquitins on pre-existing ubiquitin (PubMed:28481331). Recruited to the surface of bacteria by RNF213, which initiates the bacterial ubiquitin coat (PubMed:34012115). The bacterial ubiquitin coat acts as an 'eat-me' signal for xenophagy and promotes NF-kappa-B activation (PubMed:28481331, PubMed:34012115). Together with OTULIN, the LUBAC complex regulates the canonical Wnt signaling during angiogenesis (PubMed:23708998). RNF31 is required for linear ubiquitination of BCL10, thereby promoting TCR-induced NF-kappa-B activation (PubMed:27777308).
