Rabbit polyclonal antibody to TRAF6 (H154)

Tumor necrosis factor receptor~associated factor 6 (TRAF6) regulates adaptive immunity, innate immunity and bone metabolism. TRAF6 is a ubiquitin (Ub) ligase that mediates the activation of protein kinases, such as transforming growth factor beta~activated kinase (TAK1) and IκB kinase (IKK), by catalyzing the formation of a unique polyubiquitin chain linked through Lys 63 of Ub. TRAF6 is essential for activating NFκB signaling pathway in response to interleukin~1 and Toll~like receptor ligands. The coiled~coil domain of TRAF6 is essential for its auto~ubiquitination and activating NFκB signaling pathway. TRAF6 interacts with various protein kinases including IRAK1/IRAK, SRC and PKCζ, which provides a link between distinct signaling pathways.
