Species enclosed in parentheses are predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology. Species cross-reactivity is determined by Western blot.
Specificity / Sensitivity
A20/TNFAIP3 Antibody detects endogenous levels of total A20/TNFAIP3 protein.
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing rabbits with a synthetic peptide (KLH-coupled) corresponding to residues surrounding Gly267 of human A20/TNFAIP3. Antibodies were purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Background
A20, also referred to as TNF-α-induced protein 3 (TNFAIP3), is cytokine inducible protein which functions to inhibit apoptosis and activate NF-κB (1,2). It was first identified as a TNF-α inducible primary response gene in human umbilical vein endothelial cells, and encodes a 790-amino acid protein containing seven Cys2/Cys2-zinc finger motifs (3). Constitutive expression of A20 is observed in lymphoid tissues (4), but it is transiently expressed in a variety of cell types in response to inflammatory signals such as TNF-α (3,5), IL-1 (3,5), phorbol esters (6), and LPS (7). Expression of A20 can confer resistance to apoptosis and NF-κB activation triggered by these signals, probably through interference with TRAF (TNF receptor associated factor) family members (8,9), as well as interaction with the NF-κB inhibiting protein ABIN (10). Studies also show that it contains site-specific ubiquitin modifying activity that can contribute to its biological functions (11,12). The amino-terminal of A20 contains de-ubiquitinating (DUB) acitivity for Lys63 branches, such as those found in TRAF6 and RIP, while the carboxyl-terminus contains ubiquitin ligase (E3) activity for Lys48 branches of the same substrates leading to their degradation (12).
