ANTI-TRAF5 (C15-1663-146)

General description

TRAF5 (TNF receptor-associated factor 5) gene encodes a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor (TRAF) protein family. It contains a meprin and TRAF homology (MATH) domain, a RING-type zinc finger, and two TRAF-type zinc fingers.

Immunogen

TNF receptor-associated factor 5 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies^® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

TRAF5 (TNF receptor-associated factor 5) gene encodes a scaffold protein that mediates TNF-induced activation by binding to the cytoplasmic domains of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor. It is expressed along with Lymphotoxin-β receptor in visceral organs and serves as a signal transducer for this receptor. It is found to associate with the cytoplasmic tail of CD40 and mediate its signaling, which is important in B-cell function. It also mediates the TNF (Tumor necrosis factor)-induced activation of NF-κB, a transcriptional factor involved in the regulation of several inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and adhesion molecules, and plays a role in protection from cell death.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Linkage

Corresponding Antigen APREST71253.

Physical form

Solution in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide
