Human MYD88 (Myeloid Differentiation Factor 88) CLIA Kit

Myeloid Differentiation Primary Response Protein Myd88

MYD88_HUMAN ; Reactome: R-HSA-1236974 ; Gene ID: 4615

Tissue Specificity: Ubiquitous.

Function: Adapter protein involved in the Toll-like receptor and IL-1 receptor signaling pathway in the innate immune response. Acts via IRAK1, IRAK2, IRF7 and TRAF6, leading to NF-kappa-B activation, cytokine secretion and the inflammatory response. Increases IL-8 transcription. Involved in IL-18-mediated signaling pathway. Activates IRF1 resulting in its rapid migration into the nucleus to mediate an efficient induction of IFN-beta, NOS2/INOS, and IL12A genes. MyD88-mediated signaling in intestinal epithelial cells is crucial for maintenance of gut homeostasis and controls the expression of the antimicrobial lectin REG3G in the small intestine.
