Description

Recombinant Protein

Description: Apo-1 (Fas/CD95) is a 45 kD type I transmembrane protein belonging to the TNF receptor family. A subgroup of this receptor family called 'death receptors' contain 3-4 cysteine-rich repeats in the extracellular portion and a cystoplasmic motif called the 'death domain', which is responsible for the transduction of the death signal. The death domain associates with FADD/MORT, which in turn connects to aspartate-specific proteases (Caspases) that are implicated as mediators of most types of apoptotic cell death (6-9). Purity: >95%. Molecular Weight: 60.0 kDa.

CD95, also known as Fas or APO-1, is a 46 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein that functions as a cell death receptor in the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily. It is expressed by a wide range of hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells, including monocytes, neutrophils, lymphocytes, and fibroblasts. CD95 also exists in a soluble form weighing approximately 26 kDa. The interaction of CD95 with its ligand, FasL, induces apoptosis, playing a crucial role in peripheral tolerance and anti-viral immune responses. Upon stimulation, CD95 leads to the aggregation of its intracellular Fas-associated death domains (FADD), formation of the death-inducing signaling complex (DISC), and activation of caspases. This cascade results in apoptosis. CD95 is also involved in activating NF-kappaB, MAPK3/ERK1, and MAPK8/JNK, and transduces proliferative signals in normal diploid fibroblasts and T cells. There are at least eight alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding seven distinct isoforms of CD95. Isoforms lacking the transmembrane domain may negatively regulate apoptosis mediated by the full-length isoform. The Fas/Fas ligand system is implicated in several human diseases, including AIDS, hepatitis, and cancer, highlighting its importance in immune regulation and disease pathology.
