Product details:
Mouse IRAK4 SimpleStep ELISA® kit is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of IRAK4 protein in Cell Lysate . Quantitate Mouse IRAK4 with 11.493 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA
technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA
plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA
protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA
technology provides several benefits:
-Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
-Fully validated in biological samples
-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA
microplate (
ab203359
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA

IRAK4 also known as Interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 4 is an important protein with an approximate molecular mass of 51 kDa. This protein is a significant part of the signaling cascade initiated by the Interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R) and Toll-like receptors (TLRs). Expressed in a variety of tissues including the spleen thymus and lung IRAK4 is involved in innate immune responses. The presence of IRAK4 protein facilitates the downstream signaling pathways that activate the transcription factors responsible for inflammatory cytokine production.
Biological function summary
IRAK4 plays an important role in mediating signaling in the innate immune system by forming complexes with other proteins such as IRAK-1. These complexes propagate signals that result in the activation of transcription factors like NF-kB and AP-1 which regulate the expression of inflammatory genes. Through these mechanisms IRAK4 influences the body's ability to respond to infections and stresses. Its critical involvement in these signaling pathways highlights its importance in maintaining immune homeostasis.
Pathways
IRAK4 is a pivotal player in the Toll-like receptor and IL-1 receptor signaling pathways which are central to the host defense against pathogens. It functions upstream activating the MyD88-dependent pathway resulting in the recruitment and phosphorylation of other kinases such as IRAK-1 and TRAF6. These interactions trigger the NF-kB signaling cascade thereby enhancing pro-inflammatory cytokine production that is essential for initiating immune responses.
Mutations or dysregulation of IRAK4 are linked to increased susceptibility to recurrent bacterial infections and sepsis. Patients with IRAK4 deficiency have impaired NF-kB activation leading to a weakened inflammatory response. Additionally overexpression of IRAK4 has been observed in certain autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis where the persistent activation of TLR signaling contributes to chronic inflammation. The role of IRAK4 in these disorders ties closely with its interaction with proteins like TRAF6 influencing disease development and progression.
