Specificity
The pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1 induced cellular response requires IL-1 receptor complex including IL-1RI and IL-RAcP. Recently, MyD88 was identified as an adapter molecule in the IL-1 signaling pathway (Muzio et al. 1997). MyD88 associates with and recruits IRAK to the IL-1 receptor complex in response to IL-1 treatment and dominant negative form of MyD88 attenuates IL-1R mediated NF-kB activation. MyD88 is also employed as a regulator molecule by IL-18 receptor and human Toll receptor (Adachi et al. 1998; Medzhitov et al. 1998), which are members in the Toll/IL-1R family of receptors. Targeted disruption of the MyD88 gene results in loss of cellular responses to IL-1 and IL-18, and MyD88-defecient mice lack responses to bacterial product LPS that employs Toll-like receptors 2 and 4 (TLR2 and TLR4) as the signaling receptors. MyD88 is a general adapter protein for the Toll/1R family of receptors and plays an important role in the inflammatory response induced by cytokines IL-1 and IL-18 and endotoxin. MyD88 gene is expressed in many tissues.
Immunogen
Epitope: C-terminus
Rabbit anti-MyD88 (C-terminus) polyclonal antibody was raised against a peptide corresponding to amino acids 279 to 296 of human MyD88 (Bonnert et al. 1997), which are identical to those of mouse.
Application
Anti-MyD88 Antibody, C-terminus is an antibody against MyD88 for use in WB.
