Anti-TIAF TIAF1 Antibody

TIAF-1 (TGFB1-induced anti-apoptotic factor 1), also known as MYO18A, is a TGFB1-induced anti-apoptotic factor that functions to inhibit the cytotoxic effects of TNF-alpha, TRADD and FADD. It localizes to the nucleus and significantly up-regulated in activated helper T lymphocytes (TH2) in chronic kidney and liver allograft rejection. Suppression of TIAF1 expression by siRNA prevents UV irradiation-mediated p53 phosphorylation and nuclear translocation. TIAF1 is essential in the p53- and WOX1-mediated cell death and shows an aggregation-dependent control of tumor progression and metastasis, and regulation of cell death.

TIAF antibody was raised against a 16 amino acid peptide near the amino terminus of human TIAF . The immunogen is located within the first 50 amino acids of TIAF.

Not detectable in normal kidney and liver. Up- regulated in chronic and acute allograft rejection: expressed in the inflammatory infiltrate and in tubular epithelial cells.

Inhibits the cytotoxic effects of TNF-alpha and overexpressed TNF receptor adapters TRADD, FADD, and RIPK1. Involved in TGF-beta1 inhibition of IkappaB-alpha expression and suppression of TNF-mediated IkappaB-alpha degradation.
