MAVS blocking peptide
MAVS Blocking Peptide
Peptide Description: Synthetic peptide taken within amino acid region 500-540 on on human mitochondrial antiviral-signaling protein isoform 1
Structure: Both CARD and transmembrane domains are essential for antiviral function. The CARD domain is responsible for interaction with DDX58/RIG-I and IFIH1/MDA5. The transmembrane domain and residues 300-444 are essential for its interaction with DHX58/LGP2
Expression: Present in T-cells, monocytes, epithelial cells and hepatocytes (at protein level). Ubiquitously expressed, with highest levels in heart, skeletal muscle, liver, placenta and peripheral blood leukocytes
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes an intermediary protein necessary in the virus-triggered beta interferon signaling pathways. It is required for activation of transcription factors which regulate expression of beta interferon and contributes to antiviral immunity. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]
Uniprot Description
Required for innate immune defense against viruses. Acts downstream of DHX33, DDX58/RIG-I and IFIH1/MDA5, which detect intracellular dsRNA produced during viral replication, to coordinate pathways leading to the activation of NF-kappa-B, IRF3 and IRF7, and to the subsequent induction of antiviral cytokines such as IFN-beta and RANTES (CCL5). Peroxisomal and mitochondrial MAVS act sequentially to create an antiviral cellular state. Upon viral infection, peroxisomal MAVS induces the rapid interferon-independent expression of defense factors that provide short-term protection, whereas mitochondrial MAVS activates an interferon-dependent signaling pathway with delayed kinetics, which amplifies and stabilizes the antiviral response. May activate the same pathways following detection of extracellular dsRNA by TLR3. May protect cells from apoptosis.

Product Notes
The MAVS mavs (Catalog #AAA5400632) is a Blocking Peptide and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's MAVS can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Immunodepletion, Immunocompetition. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the MAVS mavs 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 "MAVS, Blocking Peptide" 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
