REACH authorisation
Abcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.
It is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.
Lysate preparation:
Our lysates are made using RIPA buffer to which we add a protease inhibitor cocktail and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (ratio: 300:100:10).
This means that the protein of interest is denatured.
If you require a native form of the protein please use the live cell version. Please refer to our lysis protocol for further details on how our lysates are prepared.

TAK1 also known as MAP3K7 (Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 7) is an important protein kinase that weighs approximately 63 kDa. This protein is expressed in various tissues and cells including HEK 293T cells. TAK1 plays a mechanical role as a part of the MAPK signaling cascade. It phosphorylates and activates downstream kinases which is key to transmitting cellular signals that regulate responses to external stimuli like cytokines and stress.
Biological function summary
TAK1 is involved in several cellular processes necessary for maintaining balance and responding to stress. TAK1 forms a complex with proteins like TAB1 TAB2 and TAB3 which are important for its activation and signaling function. This complex facilitates TAK1's involvement in inflammation and immune response indicating its significance in mediating cellular survival and apoptosis.
Pathways
TAK1 operates within the NF-κB and MAPK pathways two critical routes for cellular response to inflammation and stress. In the NF-κB pathway TAK1 activates IKK which triggers the degradation of IκB freeing NF-κB to move into the nucleus and activate transcription. In the MAPK pathway TAK1 directly influences JNK and p38 cascades revealing regulatory connections to proteins like MEK and ERK.
TAK1 has been linked to conditions such as cancer and inflammatory diseases. In cancers aberrant TAK1 activity can lead to enhanced cell proliferation and survival. Moreover inflammation-related disorders can arise from malfunctioning TAK1 signaling demonstrating its connection to proteins like TNF receptor-associated factors which are involved in inflammatory responses. Understanding TAK1's role in these disorders may pave the way for developing potential therapeutic interventions.
