CST, 46948C, FastScan™ Phospho-TBK1/NAK (Ser172) ELISA Kit

Protocol
Available protocols: ELISA+
Specificity / Sensitivity
The FastScan™ Phospho-TBK1/NAK (Ser172) ELISA Kit detects endogenous levels of TBK1/NAK when phosphorylated at Ser172, as shown in Figure 1. This kit detects proteins from the indicated species, as determined through in-house testing, but may also detect homologous proteins from other species.
Species Reactivity: Human, Rat
Background
TBK1 (TANK-binding kinase 1)/NAK (NF-κB activating kinase) is an IκB kinase (IKK)-activating kinase and can activate IKK through direct phosphorylation (1). TBK1 was identified through association with the TRAF binding protein, TANK, and found to function upstream of NIK and IKK in the activation of NF-κB (2). TBK1 induces IκB degradation and NF-κB activity through IKKβ. TBK1 may mediate IKK and NF-κB activation in response to growth factors that stimulate PKCε activity (1). TBK1 plays a pivotal role in the activation of IRF3 in the innate immune response (3).
