Biological background
Protein function (datasheet): Adapter molecule that regulates the activation of NF- kappa-B and JNK. Plays a role in the regulation of cell survival and apoptosis. The heterotrimer formed by TRAF1 and TRAF2 is part of a E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex that promotes ubiquitination of target proteins, such as MAP3K14. The TRAF1/TRAF2 complex recruits the antiapoptotic E3 protein- ubiquitin ligases BIRC2 and BIRC3 to TNFRSF1B/TNFR2. .
Scientific background (datasheet): TRAF1 (TNF Receptor-Associated Factor 1), also called EBI6, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TRAF1 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the TNF receptor (TNFR) associated factor (TRAF) protein family. Siemienski et al. (1997) used fluorescence in situ hybridization to map the TRAF1 gene to 9q33-q34. Mosialos et al. (1995) found that LMP1, the EBV-transforming protein, specifically associates with LAP1 (TRAF3) or EBI6 in B lymphoblasts. LMP1 expression res LAP1 and EBI6 from scattered cytoplasmic structures to LMP1 plasma membrane patches. Both LAP1 and EBI6 associated with the cytoplasmic domain of p80/TNFR2 in vivo.
Cellular localization (datasheet): Cytoplasm .
Tissue details (datasheet): Abundantly expressed in thymocytes and lymphocytes. Detected in lymphocyte-rich tissues such as thymus, colon, intestine, and spleen. Also found in the prostate.
Sequence similarities (datasheet): Contains 1 MATH domain.

- Supports comparative expression analysis across conditions, genotypes, or treatments when paired with appropriate controls.
- Useful for confirming target presence and subcellular distribution using orthogonal readouts (e.g., microscopy vs. immunoblotting).
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): Compare relative target abundance and apparent size/isoforms across samples; interpret bands in light of expected MW and potential PTMs.
- ELISA: Measure target abundance in compatible matrices using a standard-curve readout; ensure dilution linearity and appropriate controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Assess tissue distribution and cell-type patterns; interpret staining with appropriate negative controls and antigen context.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify target-positive populations in single-cell suspensions; pair with viability and isotype/FMO controls conceptually.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Consider isoforms, post-translational modifications, and processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.
- Cross-reactivity (datasheet): No cross-reactivity with other proteins
- Use appropriate positive and negative controls (e.g., KO/KD, blocking peptide, or isotype controls) to support specificity interpretation.
As a polyclonal antibody, this reagent may recognize multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may require careful specificity controls.
