Revvity Human AQ STING binding kit, 100000 Tests

Revvity A fast and easy way to identify new binders to human AQ STING. Stimulator of interferon genes (STING), also known as transmembrane protein 173 (TMEM173), is a protein playing a major role in innate immunity. The AQ and HAQ variants are found in respectively 5.2% and 20.4% of the world population. Both variants display the same binding pocket, since the R71H mutation is part of the transmembrane domain, and not expressed in the recombinant protein. Upon intracellular cytosolic DNA release from pathogens such as viruses and bacteria, 2’-3’cGAMP binds to STING protein and triggers the secretion of type 1 interferon.  The AQ variant shows a strong affinity to natural 2-3cGAMP and other known compounds. Identifying new STING ligands is therefore a way to control immunity and fight autoinflammatory diseases. - PEMSD (Additional S&H or Hazmat Fees May Apply)
