Revvity HTRF Human RIG-1 Binding Kit, 100,000 Assay Points

A fast and easy way to identify new binders to human RIG-I. The Retinoic acid-Inducible Gene I (RIG-I) is a cytosolic pattern recognition receptor which is known to recognize RNA pathogens in cells. This protein is involved in the innate immune system and induces a type 1 interferon response. The RIG-I protein recognizes infected cells by detecting viral dsRNA. Once activated by a dsRNA, the N-terminus domain of RIG-I binds mitochondrial antiviral signaling proteins, thereby activating the IFN-1 signaling pathway.
