Targeting IRAK4 for Degradation with PROTACs.

Interleukin-1 Receptor-Associated Kinase 4 (IRAK4) is a key mediator of innate immunity. IRAK4 overactivation is linked with several autoimmune diseases. To date, many IRAK4 inhibitors have been developed to block the protein's kinase activity with the most advanced reaching Phase II clinical trials.
