(IRAKs) are important mediators in the signal transduction of the Toll/IL-1 receptor (TIR) family. Members of the TIL family play a role in innate immune responses by coordinating host defense mechanisms. IRAK4 is the most recently discovered IRAK protein. IRAK-4 has been shown to interact with IRAK-1 and TRAF6 in an IL-1-dependent manner, and overexpression of IRAK-4 has been shown to activate NFkB as well as mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathways. Studies demonstrate that mice lacking IRAK4 are severely impaired in their IL-1, Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling and response to viral and bacterial challenges, this indicates that IRAK4 has an important role in innate immunity. Humans lacking IRAK 4 exhibit pyogenic bacterial infections, while their blood and fibroblast cells fail to activate NF-kB. IRAK-4 is believed to be required for the LPS-induced activation of antigen-presenting cells. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunofluorescence.
