IRAK3 Antibody – Rabbit Polyclonal

This gene encodes a member of the interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase protein family. Members of this family are essential components of the Toll/IL-R immune signal transduction pathways. This protein is primarily expressed in monocytes and macrophages and functions as a negative regulator of Toll-like receptor signaling. Mutations in this gene are associated with a susceptibility to asthma. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

IRAK3: a TKL kinase of the IRAK family. The interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinases are important mediators in the signal transduction of Toll-like receptor and IL1R family members, collectively referred to as TIRs.
