Background

AutoImmune REgulator (AIRE) is an approximately 60 kDa nuclear and cytosolic protein that is required for the development of T cell tolerance. It regulates the expression of self-antigens by thymic epithelial cells, and mutations in AIRE are causative of the autoimmune disorder, APECED. AIRE regulates gene transcription through interactions with DNA, histone H3, and the nuclear matrix. It contains one HSD domain (aa 1-105), a nuclear localization sequence (aa 113-133), one SAND domain (aa 181-280), and two PHD zinc finger domains (aa 299-340 and aa 434-475). Alternate splicing of human AIRE generates isoforms that lack the HSR and SAND domains and/or the second PHD domain. Within aa 476-552, human AIRE shares 65% and 63% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat AIRE, respectively.

FAQs for Autoimmune Regulator/AIRE Antibody (FAB6184AFP488). (Showing 1 - 1 of 1 FAQ).

1. I am looking into a positive control for Western blotting. We are trying to detect the AIRE protein and are not sure whether the antibody we have is picking up the protein. Are you able to tell me whether the human thymus whole tissue lysate (NB820-59456) has been used to detect for AIRE expression by Western blotting?
   • I am not currently aware of any references to the use of our human thymus whole tissue lysate being used to detect AIRE by Western blotting. On looking through the Western blot images for all seven of our AIRE antibodies, I see that these have been generated using lysates from RT-4 cells (bladder), U-251 MG cells (brain), 293 cells (human embryonic kidney), human spleen lysate, liver lysate and tonsil lysate. Additionally, you may find the Human Protein Atlas link to AIRE useful. At this site you can find protein expression profiles based on immunohistochemistry for a large number of human tissues, cancers and cell lines: The Human Protein Atlas.
