Scientific Background: ARAF belongs to the RAF subfamily of the Ser/Thr protein kinase family, and maybe involved in cell growth and development. ARAF play a critical role in cell growth and development (1).The N-terminal regulatory domain of ARAF interacted with the putative mitochondrial proteins TOM and TIM44. ARAF is expressed predominantly in urogenital tissues (2). The complete coding sequence of the human A-raf-1 oncogene and transforming activity of a human A-raf carrying retrovirus.

NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This proto-oncogene belongs to the RAF subfamily of the Ser/Thr protein kinase family, and maybe involved in cell growth and development. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]
Uniprot Description
Function: Involved in the transduction of mitogenic signals from the cell membrane to the nucleus. Ref.3Isoform 2: Serves as a positive regulator of myogenic differentiation by inducing cell cycle arrest, the expression of myogenin and other muscle-specific proteins, and myotube formation. Ref.3
Catalytic activity: ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.
Cofactor: Binds 2 zinc ions per subunit
By similarity.
Subunit structure: Interacts with TH1L/NELFD. Ref.9

Product Notes
The ARAF araf (Catalog #AAA515083) is a Recombinant Protein produced from Sf9 insect cells and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The tag for this protein is GST tag!!Expression System||Sf9 insect cells using baculovirus!!Source Note||Recombinant human ARAF (209-end) was expressed by baculovirus in Sf9 insect cells. AAA Biotech's ARAF can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the ARAF araf for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "ARAF, Recombinant Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
