By determining phosphorylated STAT4 protein in your experimental model system, you can verify pathway activation in your cell lysates. You can simultaneously measure numerous different cell lysates without spending excess time and effort in performing a Western Blotting analysis.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis Sandwich ELISA kit is an\u003cbr\u003e\nin vitro\u003cbr\u003e\nenzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the measurement of human phospho-STAT4. An anti-STAT4 antibody has been coated onto a 96-well plate. Samples are pipetted into the wells and phosphorylated and unphosphorylated STAT4 present in a sample is bound to the wells by the immobilized antibody. The wells are washed and biotinylated anti-phosphotyrosine antibody is used to detect only tyrosine-phosphorylated protein. After washing away unbound antibody, HRP-conjugated streptavidin is pipetted to the wells. The wells are again washed, a TMB substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of phospho-STAT4 bound. The Stop Solution changes the color from blue to yellow, and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm.\u003cbr\u003e\nREACH authorisation\u003cbr\u003e\nAbcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nShipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions--20°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions--20°C, Storage information--20°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 4 (STAT4) is a critical member of the STAT protein family. It weighs approximately 85 kDa. STAT4 primarily functions as a transcription factor activated by phosphorylation through Janus kinases (JAKs) in response to cytokine signaling. This protein facilitates the translocation into the nucleus where it promotes the transcription of specific genes. STAT4 expression occurs mainly in T cells and natural killer (NK) cells indicating its role in the immune response.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nSTAT4 is integral to the differentiation of naïve T cells into T helper 1 (Th1) cells. These Th1 cells play a central role in orchestrating immune responses against intracellular pathogens. STAT4 activation requires two distinct steps involving JAK kinases and subsequent binding to DNA regulatory elements of target genes. STAT4 does not function as part of a large protein complex but rather operates as a dimer following phosphorylation.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nSTAT4 participates strongly in the JAK-STAT signaling pathway fundamental for immune cell maturation and response. The JAK-STAT pathway regulates several biological processes including proliferation and inflammation. STAT4 works closely with STAT1 in promoting Th1 differentiation while also interacting with other proteins like IL-12 to modulate immune activity. These interactions emphasize its influence in immune responses and could affect inflammatory pathways.\u003cbr\u003e\nSTAT4 exhibits associations with autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus. Aberrant STAT4 activity can lead to dysregulated immune responses making it a significant target in these disorders. In the context of rheumatoid arthritis altered STAT4 signaling enhances inflammation through its connection with other immune proteins like IL-23. Understanding STAT4's role in these diseases may offer avenues for therapeutic interventions and better management of immune-related conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46855645823145,"sku":"ab279942","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab279942","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
