Anti-TAB2 Antibody Picoband® Fluoro488 Conjugated

Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 7-interacting protein 2, also known as TAB2, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MAP3K7IP2 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is an activator of MAP3K7/TAK1, which is required for the IL-1 induced activation of nuclear factor kappaB and MAPK8/JNK. This protein forms a kinase complex with TRAF6, MAP3K7 and TAB1, thus serves as an adaptor linking MAP3K7 and TRAF6. TAB2 functionally links TAK1 to TRAF6. What's more, TAB2 can act as a sensor for inflammatory signals by serving as a molecular beacon for recruitment of MEKK1 (MAP3K1), which in turn mediated dismissal of the NCOR/HDAC complex and permitted derepression of AR and estrogen receptor target genes.
