The Goat Polyclonal anti-IRAK4 antibody is suitable to detect IRAK4 in samples from Human, Mouse and Monkey. It has been validated for WB, IHC (p) and EIA.
IRAK4, an IRAK type protein kinase, is a signal transducer for the immune response Toll-like receptor and interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor signaling cascades. IRAK4 has auto- and cross-phosphorylation kinase activity and has been shown to phosphorylate and activate IRAK1. Additionally, IRAK4 interacts with IRAK1 and TRAF6 in an IL-1-dependent manner, and overexpression of IRAK4 can activate NF-kappaB as well as mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathways. IRAK4 (-/-) mice are resistant to a lethal dose of lipopolysaccharide and are severely impaired in their responses to viral and bacterial challenges. At least two mRNA transcripts have been reported: 3.0- and 4.4-kb. IRAK4, also referrred to as NY-REN-64, was first identified as an antigen in a screen of renal tumors.Synonyms: IRAK-4, Interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase-like, NY-REN-64
