TANK / Unconjugated /

Product Details

Description	TANK was initially identified as a novel TRAF-interacting protein that regulated TRAF-mediated signal transduction. Specifically, ligand binding by surface receptors in the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor and Toll/interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor families lead to the formation of a TRAF/TANK complex that mediates the activation of the transcription factor NF-kappaB. This activation of NF-kappaB occurs through an association with the kinases IKKepsilon and TBK1. More recently, it was shown that these proteins can then form a complex with NEMO, a protein that regulates the activity of the IkappaB complex. This suggests that in addition to the possibility that TBK1 and IKKepsilon activate the IKKs, the association with the IKK complex may help these kinases modulate other functions, such as the transactivation potential of NF-kappaB proteins. At least two isoforms of TANK are known to exist.

About TANK
The TRAF (tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor) family of proteins associate with and transduce signals from members of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily. The protein encoded by this gene is found in the cytoplasm and can bind to TRAF1, TRAF2, or TRAF3, thereby inhibiting TRAF function by sequestering the TRAFs in a latent state in the cytoplasm. For example, the protein encoded by this gene can block TRAF2 binding to LMP1, the Epstein-Barr virus transforming protein, and inhibit LMP1-mediated NF-kappa-B activation. Three alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]
