TANK was initially identified as a novel TRAF-interacting protein that regulated TRAF-mediated signal transduction. Specifically, ligand binding by surface receptors in the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor and Toll/interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor families lead to the formation of a TRAF/TANK complex that mediates the activation of the transcription factor NF-kB. This activation of NF-kB occurs through an association with the kinases IKKe and TBK1. More recently, it was shown that these proteins can then form a complex with NEMO, a protein that regulates the activity of the IkB complex. This suggests that in addition to the possibility that TBK1 and IKKe activate the IKKs, the association with the IKK complex may help these kinases modulate other functions, such as the transactivation potential of NF-kB proteins. At least two isoforms of TANK are known to exist.
Anti-TANK Antibody has been tested for use in ELISA, Western Blotting, Immunohistochemistry and Immunofluorescence. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band at approximately 48 kDa in Western Blots of specific cell lysates and tissues.
