Invitrogen™ Human Fas (TNFRSF6/CD95) Recombinant Protein, eBioscience™

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.

FAS (Fas, CD95, APO-1) is a 46 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein that functions as a cell death receptor of the TNFR (tumor necrosis factor receptor) superfamily. FAS also exists in a soluble form that weight approximately 26kDa. Stimulation of FAS results in aggregation of its intracellular FAS-associated death domains (FADD), formation of the death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) and activation of caspases. The auto-proteolytic processing of the caspases in the complex trigger a downstream cascade that leads to apoptosis. FAS has been shown to activate NF-kappaB, MAPK3/ERK1, MAPK8/JNK, and is involved in transducing the proliferating signals in normal diploid fibroblast and T cells. At least eight alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding seven distinct isoforms have been described. The isoforms lacking the transmembrane domain may negatively regulate the apoptosis mediated by the full-length isoform. The Fas/Fas ligand system has been shown to play a role in a number of human diseases such as AIDS, hepatitis and cancer. It is also assumed that induction of apoptosis through FAS ligand pathway is predominantly involved in anti-viral immune responses.
