Lyophilized To keep the original salt concentration, we recommend reconstituting to the original concentration prior to lyophilization (see Concentration) in ddH2O. If a lower concentration is required, dilute in 20 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, pH 8.0. If a higher concentration is required, the product can be reconstituted directly in 20 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, pH 8.0, though please note that this will change the overall salt concentration. The stock concentration should be between 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. Do not vortex.

Descripción

Absent in melanoma 2 (AIM2) is a protein-coding gene. It's part of the AIM2-like receptor (ALR) family, which plays a crucial role in innate immunity and inflammation. AIM2 specifically functions as a cytosolic DNA sensor, detecting the presence of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) from pathogens or damaged host cells. Activated AIM2 recruits apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC), forming the inflamasome. This inflammasome activation leads to the cleavage and activation of caspase-1, which in turn initiates the processing and secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-18 (IL-18). These cytokines play essential roles in orchestrating the immune response against infections and in regulating inflammatory processes. In addition to its role in immunity, AIM2 has been implicated in various diseases and conditions, including autoimmune disorders, inflammatory diseases, and cancer. Dysregulation of AIM2 signaling has been associated with the pathogenesis of conditions such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Crohn's disease, and certain types of cancer. In cancer, AIM2's role is complex and context-dependent. While it can exert tumor-suppressive effects by promoting cell death in response to genomic instability or viral infections, AIM2 activation has also been linked to the promotion of inflammation and tumorigenesis in certain contexts.

Involved in innate immune response by recognizing cytosolic double-stranded DNA and inducing caspase-1-activating inflammasome formation in macrophages. Upon binding to DNA is thought to undergo oligomerization and to associate with PYCARD initiating the recruitment of caspase-1 precusrsor and processing of interleukin-1 beta and interleukin-18. Detects cytosolic dsDNA of viral and bacterial origin in a non-sequence-specific manner. Can also trigger PYCARD-dependent, caspase-1-independent cell death that involves caspase-8(By similarity). Tumor suppressor which may act by repressing NF-kappa-B transcriptional activity.
