Product details:
Abcam's Human MyD88
in vitro
ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is designed for the accurate quantitative measurement of Human MyD88 in cell culture supernatants, cell lysates, serum and plasma.
A MyD88 specific mouse monoclonal antibody has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards and test samples are added to the wells and incubated. A biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat, specific for MyD88 is then added followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex is added and unbound conjugates are washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. TMB is then used to visualize the HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB is catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changes into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow coloration is directly proportional to the Human MyD88 amount of sample captured in plate.

MyD88 standing for myeloid differentiation primary response 88 is a cytoplasmic adaptor protein with a molecular weight of approximately 33 kDa. This protein is expressed widely in immune cells including monocytes macrophages and dendritic cells. MyD88 serves a major role in the signaling pathways for the innate immune system. It acts as a linker transmitting signals from toll-like receptors (TLRs) and interleukin-1 receptors (IL-1Rs) to downstream signaling molecules ultimately activating transcription factors.
Biological function summary
MyD88 plays a significant role in mediating immune responses by forming part of a complex that includes IRAK kinases and TRAF6. When TLRs or IL-1Rs activate MyD88 this adaptor protein recruits IRAK4 which then phosphorylates IRAK1 or IRAK2. This cascade promotes the activation of NF-κB and MAPK pathways leading to the production of inflammatory cytokines. The MyD88-dependent pathway is integral to innate immunity influencing how the body responds to pathogen infection and inflammation.
Pathways
MyD88 integrates into both the TLR signaling and IL-1R signaling pathways. Key related proteins in these pathways include interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase (IRAK) and tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6). MyD88 initiates the recruitment and activation of IRAK1 and IRAK4 following receptor engagement leading to subsequent activation of downstream signals. As part of these pathways MyD88 mediates cellular responses important for immune system signaling and inflammatory response regulation.
MyD88 involvement is notable in the context of oncological and autoimmune diseases. Mutations or dysregulation of MyD88 are implicated in conditions like lymphoma and rheumatoid arthritis. In lymphoma the mutation usually results in constant activation of NF-κB leading to unchecked cell growth. As for rheumatoid arthritis an overactive immune response due to MyD88 can cause additional inflammation affecting joint tissues. In these conditions MyD88 interaction with IRAK4 is significant given their mutual role in immune and inflammatory pathways.
