Anti-TRAF2 (TNF Receptor-associated Factor 2, E3 Ubiquitin-protein Ligase TRAF2, MGC:45012, Tumor Ne

The TRAF (TNF receptor-associated factor) family is a group of adapter proteins (TRAFs 1-6) that link a wide variety of cell surface receptors to diverse signaling cascades leading to the activation of NF-kB and mitogen-activated protein kinases (reviewed in Chung et al, 2002). TRAFs are major signal transducers for both the TNF and IL- 1:TLR receptor superfamilies and collectively play important functions in both adaptive and innate immunity. The carboxy-terminal region of TRAFs is required for self-association and interaction with receptor cytoplasmic domains following ligand-induced oligomerization. TRAFs interact with a variety of proteins that regulate receptor-induced cell death or survival, and TRAF-mediated signaling can promote cell survival or interfere with death receptor-induced apoptosis. Recognizes TRAF2. TRAF2 is typically described as a 501aa protein, GenBank no. NP_066961.2. However, various TRAF2 isoforms have been described. Therefore the molecular weight of TRAF2 detected by Western blot may vary depending on isoforms expressed, please see the Application Notes for additional details. Detects TRAF2 isoforms containing the peptide immunogen sequence listed in the Antigen section. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry and Immunoprecipitation. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 1:1000-1:2000, Immunohistochemistry (formalin fixed paraffin embedded): 1:1000-1:5000, Immunoprecipitation: 1:50-1:200, Immunohistochemistry: Frozen, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
