Description

This peptide is composed of amino acids 233 to 248 (CDFQTKFALSLSPGAHD) of human MyD88. MyD88, a myeloid differentiation primary response gene, is expressed in a variety of tissues and functions as an adapter molecule in the IL-1 signaling pathway involved in the inflammatory responses induced by cytokines and LPS. MyD88 associates with and recruits IRAK to the IL-1 receptor. Dominant negative mutants of MyD88 attenuate IL-1R-mediated NF-κB activation. MyD88 also functions as a regulator molecule for IL-18 receptor and human Toll receptor family. Targeted disruption of the MyD88 gene results in loss of cellular responses to IL-1 and IL-18, and MyD88-deficient mice lack responses to LPS.

Applications Reported

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use.

Applications Tested

The peptide is used for blocking the activity of anti-MyD88. Incubating the peptide with equal volume of antibody for 30 min at 37°C usually completely blocks the antibody activity in Western blotting.
