(2005).\nSpecies Reactivity: Human\n\u003cb\u003eSource \/ Purification\u003c\/b\u003e\nPolyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the carboxyl terminus of human MAVS. Antibodies were purified by affinity chromatography.\n\u003cb\u003eBackground\u003c\/b\u003e\nThe mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS, VISA) contributes to innate immunity by triggering IRF-3 and NF-κB activation in response to viral infection, leading to the production of IFN-β (1). The MAVS protein contains an N-terminal CARD domain and a C-terminal mitochondrial transmembrane domain. The MAVS adaptor protein plays a critical and specific role in viral defenses (2). MAVS acts downstream of the RIG-I RNA helicase and viral RNA sensor, leading to the recruitment of IKKε, TRIF, and TRAF6 (3,4). Some viruses have evolved strategies to circumvent these innate defenses by using proteases that cleave MAVS to prevent its mitochondrial localization (5,6).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nCARD adapter inducing interferon beta; CARD adapter inducing interferon-beta; CARD adaptor inducing IFN-beta; Cardif; DKFZp547C224; DKFZp666M015; FLJ27482; FLJ35386; FLJ38051; FLJ41962; IFN-B promoter stimulator 1; Interferon beta promoter stimulator protein 1; interferon-beta promoter stimulator protein 1; IPS-1; IPS1; KIAA1271; MAVS; MGC3260; mitochondrial anti-viral signaling protein; mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein; Mitochondrial antiviral-signaling protein; Putative NF-kappa-B-activating protein 031N; virus-induced signaling adapter variant 1b; virus-induced signaling adaptor; virus-induced signaling adaptor variant 1a; Virus-induced-signaling adapter; VISA\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 75, 52\nSOURCE: Rabbit","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46799474622633,"sku":"3993S","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-3993s","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
