Anti-TRAF1 Antibody Picoband® (Dylight488 Conjugate)

TRAF1 (TNF Receptor-Associated Factor 1), also called EBI6, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TRAF1 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the TNF receptor (TNFR) associated factor (TRAF) protein family. Siemienski et al. (1997) used fluorescence in situ hybridization to map the TRAF1 gene to 9q33-q34. Mosialos et al. (1995) found that LMP1, the EBV-transforming protein, specifically associates with LAP1 (TRAF3) or EBI6 in B lymphoblasts. LMP1 expression res LAP1 and EBI6 from scattered cytoplasmic structures to LMP1 plasma membrane patches. Both LAP1 and EBI6 associated with the cytoplasmic domain of p80/TNFR2 in vivo.

Most highly expressed in the pancreas, placenta and spinal cord, with lower-level of expression in peripheral blood leukocytes, kidney, lung, fetal liver, stomach, small intestine, testes, spleen, thymus, adrenal glands and lymph nodes. In the adult brain, expressed in the superior frontal gyrus, putamen, caudate nucleus, cingulate gyrus, nucleus accumbens, hippocampus, pons and amygdala, as well as the hypothalamus and pituitary. Expression levels are higher in early (7-9 weeks) than term placentas. Expression levels were increased in both early placentas and molar pregnancies and were reduced in choriocarcinoma cells. Expressed at higher levels in first trimester trophoblasts than at term of gestation. Also found in the extravillous trophoblast suggesting endocrine/paracrine activation mechanism.

Receptor for metastin (kisspeptin-54 or kp-54), a C- terminally amidated peptide of KiSS1. KiSS1 is a metastasis suppressor protein that suppresses metastases in malignant melanomas and in some breast carcinomas without affecting tumorigenicity. The metastasis suppressor properties may be mediated in part by cell cycle arrest and induction of apoptosis in malignant cells. The receptor is essential for normal gonadotropin-released hormone physiology and for puberty. The hypothalamic KiSS1/KISS1R system is a pivotal factor in central regulation of the gonadotropic axis at puberty and in adulthood. The receptor is also probably involved in the regulation and fine- tuning of trophoblast invasion generated by the trophoblast itself. Analysis of the transduction pathways activated by the receptor identifies coupling to phospholipase C and intracellular calcium release through pertussis toxin-insensitive G (q) proteins.
