RUSC1 Antibody

RUSC1 Antibody: RUSC1, also known as NESCA, shares with the related protein RUSC2 a common domain structure of RUN, leucine zipper and SH3 domain in addition to over 30% amino acid identity. RUSC1 is an adapter protein that can bind to the TrkA receptor and is necessary in the NGF-induced neurite growth of PC12 cells. RUSC1 has also been shown to interact with Iκ B kinase- (IKK-) gamma, the regulatory subunit of the IKK complex that is required for NF-κ B activation in many signaling pathways such as TNF-R or the TLR pathways. RUSC1 can also bind to the E3 ubiquitin ligase TRAF6, which then catalyzes RUSC1 polyubiquitination. Since overexpression of RUSC1 strongly inhibits TRAF6-mediated polyubiquitination of IKK-gamma, RUSC1 may be a link in the IKK-gamma-mediated NF-κ B activation pathway.

RUSC1 antibody can be stored at 4˚ C for three months and -20˚ C, stable for up to one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
