Background

TRAFs (TNF receptor-associated factors) are a family of multifunctional adaptor proteins that bind to surface receptors and recruit additional proteins to form multiprotein signaling complexes capable of promoting cellular responses (1-3). Members of the TRAF family share a common carboxy-terminal "TRAF domain", which mediates interactions with associated proteins; many also contain amino-terminal Zinc/RING finger motifs. The first TRAFs identified, TRAF1 and TRAF2, were found by virtue of their interactions with the cytoplasmic domain of TNF-receptor 2 (TNFRII) (4). The six known TRAFs (TRAF1-6) act as adaptor proteins for a wide range of cell surface receptors and participate in the regulation of cell survival, proliferation, differentiation, and stress responses.
TRAF4, also referred to as CART1 and MLN62, is a divergent member of the TRAF family with relatively weak binding to TNFR family members (5-7). Interactions have been observed between TRAF4 and the neurotrophin receptor p75-NGFR, lymphotoxin-β receptor, and GITR (8-10). While originally identified in metastatic breast carcinoma, TRAF4 has been shown to contribute to tumor growth and invasion in various cancers including breast, lung and colon (11-13). Expression of Traf4 is induced by the tumor suppressor p53 in response to DNA damage, and can promote apoptosis (14).TRAF4 has also been shown to play a critical role in TGF-β signaling, where it has been found to antagonize the E3 ligase Smurf, resulting in enhanced receptor stabilization driving breast cancer metastasis (15).

Species Reactivity

Species reactivity is determined by testing in at least one approved application (e.g., western blot).

Western Blot Buffer

IMPORTANT: For western blots, incubate membrane with diluted primary antibody in 5% w/v BSA, 1X TBS, 0.1% Tween® 20 at 4°C with gentle shaking, overnight.
