Anti-TRAF3 Antibody Picoband®, APC Conjugate

TRAF3 (TNF Receptor-Associated Factor 3), also called LAP1, CAP1, CRAF1 or CD40BP, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TRAF3 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the TNF receptor (TNFR) associated factor (TRAF) protein family. Gross (2012) mapped the TRAF3 gene to chromosome 14q32.32 based on an alignment of the TRAF3 sequence with the genomic sequence (GRCh37). Dadgostar et al. (2003) determined that the coiled-coil domain of mouse T3jam interacted with the isoleucine zipper domain of Traf3. Oganesyan et al. (2006) demonstrated that cells lacking TRAF3 are defective in type I interferon responses activated by several different Toll-like receptors.

Regulates pathways leading to the activation of NF- kappa-B and MAP kinases, and plays a central role in the regulation of B-cell survival. Part of signaling pathways leading to the production of cytokines and interferon. Required for normal antibody isotype switching from IgM to IgG. Plays a role T-cell dependent immune responses. Plays a role in the regulation of antiviral responses. Is an essential constituent of several E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complexes. May have E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity and promote 'Lys-63'-linked ubiquitination of target proteins. Inhibits activation of NF-kappa-B in response to LTBR stimulation. Inhibits TRAF2-mediated activation of NF-kappa- B. Down-regulates proteolytic processing of NFKB2, and thereby inhibits non-canonical activation of NF-kappa-B. Promotes ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of MAP3K14. .
