Description
Product Characteristics: For the quantitative determination of human interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 4 (IRAK-4) concentrations in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates.
Target Information: This gene encodes a kinase that activates NF-kappaB in both the Toll-like receptor (TLR) and T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling pathways. The protein is essential for most innate immune responses. Mutations in this gene result in IRAK4 deficiency and recurrent invasive pneumococcal disease. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]
