Related Product Information for anti-TRAF2 antibody

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor associated factors (TRAFs) were initially discovered as adaptor proteins that link the TNF receptor superfamily to signaling pathways and are thus important regulators of cell death and cellular response to stress. TRAF proteins share a homology region that allows them to bind to cell receptors and other TRAF proteins, causing the activation of different signal cascades depending on the TRAFs involved. For example, TRAF2 and TRAF3 directly bind to the CD40, a NF receptor superfamily member involved in inducing B cell immunity, and are critical for NF-kB activation in mouse B lymphocytes. TRAF2 along with TRAF6 has also been shown to be required for CD40 signaling in nonhemopoietic cells. TRAF2 also interacts with the TRFR superfamily member lymphotoxin-beta receptor (LTbetaR) in association with TRAF3 and the apoptosis inhibitors cIAP1 and Smac.

Uniprot Description

TRAF2: Regulates activation of NF-kappa-B and JNK and plays a central role in the regulation of cell survival and apoptosis. Required for normal antibody isotype switching from IgM to IgG. Has E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity and promotes 'Lys-63'- linked ubiquitination of target proteins, such as BIRC3, RIPK1 and TICAM1. Is an essential constituent of several E3 ubiquitin- protein ligase complexes, where it promotes the ubiquitination of target proteins by bringing them into contact with other E3 ubiquitin ligases. Regulates BIRC2 and BIRC3 protein levels by inhibiting their autoubiquitination and subsequent degradation; this does not depend on the TRAF2 RING-type zinc finger domain. Homotrimer, and heterotrimer with TRAF1 and TRAF3 (via TRAF domain). The domain containing the RING-type and the first TRAF-type zinc finger can also form homodimers (in vitro). Interacts with TNFRSF1B/TNFR2, TNFRSF4, TNFRSF5/CD40, CD27/TNFRSF7, TNFRSF8/CD30, TNFRSF9/CD137, TNFRSF11A/RANK, TNFRSF13B/TACI, TNFRSF14, TNFRSF16/NGFR, TNFRSF17/BCMA, TNFRSF18/AITR, TNFRSF19/TROY, TNFRSF19L/RELT, XEDAR, EDAR, Epstein-Barr virus BNFL1/LMP-1 and IL15RA. Interacts with CDK9, CSK, MAP3K1, MAP3K5, MAP3K11, MAP3K14, MAP4K2, RIPK1, RIPK2, TNIK, TBK1, SPHK1, TRADD, TRAFD1, TRAIP, TANK/ITRAF, TNFAIP3, TDP2, MAVS/IPS1, TICAM1 and TRPC4AP. Interacts with CASP8AP2, NFATC2IP, PEG3 and HIVEP3. Interacts with BIRC2 and BIRC3 N- terminus; a single BIRC2 or BIRC3 molecule interacts with a heterotrimer formed by TRAF1 and TRAF2, or a TRAF2 homotrimer. Identified in a complex composed of TRAF2, TRAF3, BIRC2 and BIRC3. Interaction with BIRC2 and/or BIRC3 is essential for degradation of NFKBIA and activation of NF-kappa-B. Interacts with CYLD, USP48, DAB2IP, IKKA and IKKB. Identified in a complex with TNFRSF1A, RIPK1 and IKKB. Interacts (via 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitin chains) with TAB2 and TAB3. Interacts with ERN1 and TAOK3. Interaction with TAOK3 is facilitated under ER stress conditions, such as treatment with tunicamycin, and may promote TRAF2 phosphorylation. Has very low E3 ubiquitin ligase activity in the absence of sphingosine-1-phosphate. E3 ubiquitin ligase activity is strongly activated by cytoplasmic sphingosine-1- phosphate. Belongs to the TNF receptor-associated factor family. A subfamily. 4 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
