A portion of amino acids 405-433 from the mouse protein was used as the immunogen for this Irak1 antibody.
Irak1 binds to the IL-1 type I receptor following IL-1 engagement, triggering intracellular signaling cascades leading to transcriptional up-regulation and mRNA stabilization. The kinase activity of this enzyme may not be required for IL-1 signaling. Once phosphorylated, IRAK1 recruits the adapter protein PELI1.
