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.

Tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) also known as JAK1B is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase that weighs approximately 134 kDa. It belongs to the Janus kinase (JAK) family which includes JAK1 JAK2 and JAK3. TYK2 is vital in signal transduction for several cytokine receptors. The expression of TYK2 occurs broadly in different tissues including immune system cells. It plays an important mechanical role in transferring signals from cell surface receptors to intracellular signaling pathways which modulates various physiological processes.
Biological function summary
TYK2 mediates intracellular signaling that affects both innate and adaptive immune responses. It associates with cytokine receptors forming functional complexes that are critical for initiating JAK-STAT signaling. This type of signaling is responsible for regulating gene expression after cytokine binding. TYK2 is known for interacting with Type I interferons and interleukin-10 family cytokines indicating its importance in immune regulation.
Pathways
TYK2 acts within the JAK-STAT pathway a fundamental signaling cascade triggered by various cytokines and growth factors. The JAK-STAT pathway includes key partners such as STAT1 STAT2 and STAT3 proteins which are phosphorylated by TYK2 to propagate signal transduction. Additionally TYK2 is involved in the 'intercept blocking buffer' mechanism that adjusts signal strength thereby ensuring appropriate cellular responses to external stimuli.
Altered TYK2 activity has associations with immune-related conditions like psoriasis and systemic lupus erythematosus. Dysregulation of TYK2 can lead to improper immune signaling which contributes to these autoimmune conditions. Furthermore TYK2 interacts with other Janus kinase family members including JAK1 and JAK3 which can influence its role in the pathogenesis of these diseases potentially offering targets for therapeutic intervention.
