PELI2, 1-420aa, Human, His tag, E.coli

PELI2 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase catalyzing the covalent attachment of ubiquitin moieties onto substrate proteins. This protein is involved in the TLR and IL-1 signaling pathways via interaction with the complex containing IRAK kinases and TRAF6. It mediates IL1B-induced IRAK1 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitination and possibly 'Lys-48'-linked ubiquitination. PELI2 may be important for LPS- and IL1B-induced MAP3K7-dependent, but not MAP3K3-dependent, NF-kappa-B activation. It can activate the MAP (mitogen activated protein) kinase pathway leading to activation of ELK1. Recombinant human PELI2 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
