Anti-TMEM173 (Transmembrane Protein 173, Endoplasmic Reticulum Interferon Stimulator, ERIS, FLJ38577

STING is a signaling protein and an important component of innate immune signaling. This protein is able to activate both NF-kappa-B and IRF3 transcription pathways to induce expression of type I interferon (IFN-alpha and IFN-beta) and exert a potent anti-viral state following expression. STING may have translocon function, the translocon possibly being able to influence the induction of type I interferons and is also involved in transduction of apoptotic signals via its association with the major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC-II) thus facilitating the detection of intracellular viral RNA species as well as B-form DNA and mediates death signaling via activation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway. Expression is ubiquitous in most tissues and is present on the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, cell membrane and outer membrane of mitochondrion. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot.
