TMEM173 Antibody STING1/7431 / Transmembrane Protein 173 Antibody recognizes the protein encoded by the TMEM173 gene, more commonly known as STING or STING1. TMEM173 is a transmembrane signaling protein that serves as a central adaptor in innate immune recognition of cytosolic DNA. Through the cGAS-STING pathway, the protein connects detection of aberrantly localized DNA with production of type I interferons and other inflammatory mediators, contributing to cellular defense against infection and other sources of intracellular DNA.
Cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) initiates this pathway by recognizing double-stranded DNA within the cytosol. DNA binding activates cGAS and promotes synthesis of cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP), a second messenger that binds directly to TMEM173. Ligand binding induces conformational activation of STING and promotes its trafficking from the endoplasmic reticulum toward Golgi-associated compartments, an important step in propagation of the downstream immune response.
Activated TMEM173 facilitates recruitment and activation of TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1), which phosphorylates interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3). Activated IRF3 subsequently promotes transcription of type I interferons and interferon-stimulated genes. This signaling mechanism allows cells to respond to DNA originating from intracellular pathogens as well as endogenous DNA associated with mitochondrial damage, genomic instability, and other forms of cellular stress.
Transmembrane Protein 173 is consequently studied across a broad range of innate immune processes. STING signaling contributes to antimicrobial defense, inflammatory regulation, immune surveillance, and responses to cellular damage. The pathway is also important in cancer immunology, where sensing of tumor-derived DNA can promote inflammatory signaling and antitumor immune responses. Dysregulated TMEM173 activity has additionally been investigated in autoinflammatory and autoimmune disease mechanisms.
Clone STING1/7431 is a mouse monoclonal antibody directed against human TMEM173/STING1. NSJ Bioreagents offers this TMEM173 Antibody as a clone-defined reagent for investigating cytosolic DNA sensing and innate immune signaling. A TMEM173 Antibody can support research into STING biology, interferon regulation, host defense, inflammation, and cGAS-STING pathway mechanisms.
