TAK1 is a serine/threonine protein kinase that mediates signaling by TGFß and morphogenetic protein (BMP) . In response to IL-1, TAK1 forms a kinase complex with TAB1 and this complex is required for the activation of nuclear factor kappa B (Nf?B). TAK1 can also activate MAPK8/JNK and MAP2K4/MKK4 and thus play a role in the cell response to environmental stress. Tak1 is essential for thymocyte development and activation and deletion of TAK1 prevents maturation of single-positive thymocytes displaying CD4 or CD8 . Thymocytes lacking TAK1 fail to activate Nf?B and JNK and are prone to apoptosis upon stimulation.
Store product at –70°C. For optimal storage, aliquot target into smaller quantities after centrifugation and store at recommended temperature. For most favorable performance, avoid repeated handling and multiple freeze/thaw cycles.
