Anti-TRAF4

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. TNF Receptor-Associated Factor 4, also called CART1 or MLN62, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TRAF4 gene. It 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. Protein function: Adapter protein and signal transducer that links members of the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) family to different signaling pathways. Plays a role in the activation of NF-kappa-B and JNK, and in the regulation of cell survival and apoptosis. Regulates activation of NF-kappa-B in response to signaling through Toll-like receptors. Required for normal skeleton development, and for normal development of the respiratory tract. Required for activation of RPS6KB1 in response to TNF signaling. Modulates TRAF6 functions.
