IRAK-2 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Target Background

IRAK2 encodes the interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 2, one of two putative serine/threonine kinases that become associated with the interleukin-1 receptor (IL1R) upon stimulation. IRAK2 is reported to participate in the IL1-induced upregulation of NF-kappaB. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],caution:Asn-335 is present instead of the conserved Asp which is expected to be an active site residue. This enzyme has been shown to be catalytically inactive.,domain:The protein kinase domain is predicted to be catalytically inactive.,function:Binds to the IL-1 type I receptor following IL-1 engagement, triggering intracellular signaling cascades leading to transcriptional up-regulation and mRNA stabilization.,similarity:Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. TKL Ser/Thr protein kinase family. Pelle subfamily.,similarity:Contains 1 death domain.,similarity:Contains 1 protein kinase domain.,subunit:Interacts with MYD88. IL-1 stimulation leads to the formation of a signaling complex which dissociates from the IL-1 receptor following the binding of PELI1.,tissue specificity:Expressed in spleen, thymus, prostate, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney, pancreas and peripheral blood leukocytes.,
