| Introduction | Members of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family, named for the closely related Toll receptor in Drosophila, play a pivotal role in innate immune responses. TLRs recognize conserved motifs found in various pathogens and mediate defense responses. Triggering of the TLR pathway leads to the activation of NF-κB and subsequent regulation of immune and inflammatory genes. The TLRs and members of the IL-1 receptor family share a conserved stretch of approximately 200 amino acids known as the Toll/Interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domain. Upon activation, TLRs associate with a number of cytoplasmic adaptor proteins containing TIR domains, including myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88), MyD88-adaptor-like/TIR-associated protein (MAL/TIRAP), Toll-receptor-associated activator of interferon (TRIF), and Toll-receptor-associated molecule (TRAM). This association leads to the recruitment and activation of IRAK1 and IRAK4, which form a complex with TRAF6 to activate TAK1 and IKK.Activation of IKK leads to the degradation of IκB, which normally maintains NF-κB in an inactive state by sequestering it in the cytoplasm.MyD88 was originally isolated as a myeloid differentiation primary response gene that is rapidly induced upon IL-6 stimulated differentiation of M1 myeloleukemic cells into macrophages. It contains an amino-terminal death domain separated from a carboxyl-terminal TIR domain and functions as an adaptor in TLR/IL-1 receptor signaling. The death domain of MyD88 mediates interactions with the IRAK complex triggering a signaling cascade that includes the activation of NF-κB. |

| Specificity | Human MYD88 has 7 isoforms, including isoform 1 (317aa, 35.4kD), isoform 2 (296aa, 33.2 kD), isoform 3 (251aa, 28.3kD), isoform 4 (191aa, 20.8kD), isoform 5 (146aa, 15.8kD), isoform 6 (275aa, 31.5kD), and isoform 7 (304aa, 34.1kD). This antibody detects human isoform 1,2,3,6,7, but not isoform 4,5. Mouse MYD88 has two isoforms, including isoform 1 (296aa, 33.8kD) and isoform 2 (250aa, 28.7kD). Rat MYD88 has only one isoform identified so far (296aa, 33.9kD). |
