AHP1098 detects an epitope within the N-terminal (NT) region of integrin-1 receptor-associated kinase 4 (IRAK4). IRAK4 has a molecular weight of 50kD, and is an important mediator in the signal transduction of Toll-like receptor (TLR) and interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor family members. IRAK4 functions in this signal transduction pathway by binding to the IL-1 type I receptor following IL-1 engagement, triggering intracellular signalling cascades leading to transcriptional up-regulation and mRNA stabilization.
IRAK4 is a key activator of TLR-mediated signal transductions and has crucial roles in innate immune responses. It is expressed by the liver, kidneys and skeletal muscle.

Where this antibody has not been tested for use in a particular technique this does not necessarily exclude its use in such procedures. It is recommended that the user titrates the antibody for use in their own system using appropriate negative/positive controls.
Western Blotting
AHP1098 detects a band of approximately 50kDa in A431 and HeLa cell lysates. A minimum incubation time of 1 hour is recommended with this antibody.
Storage
Store at +4oC or at -20oC if preferred.
This product should be stored undiluted.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
Shelf Life
18 months from date of despatch.
Antiserum Preparation
Antisera to human IRAK4 were raised by repeated immunisations of goats with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG was prepared from whole serum by affinity chromatography.
