Description | Description: Rabbit IgG polyclonal antibody for TNF receptor-associated factor 2(TRAF2) detection. Tested with WB, IHC-P in Human. Background: TRAF2 (TNF Receptor-Associated Factor 2), also called TRAP, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TRAF2 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the TNF receptor (TNFR) associated factor (TRAF) protein family. TRAF2 is a common signal transducer for TNFR2 and CD40 that mediates activation of NF-kappa-B. Rothe et al. (1996) identified ITRAF, which binds to TRAF1, TRAF2, and TRAF3, and that when overexpressed inhibits TRAF2-mediated NF-kappa-B activation. They proposed that ITRAF is an inhibitor of TRAF function that regulates TRAF protein activity by sequestering TRAFs in a latent |
