Recombinant Human Fas (TNF Receptor Superfamily, Member 6)

• Cat.No.: FAS-1615H

Specification

• Cat. No.: FAS-1615H
• Description: Fas and Fas Ligand (FasL) belong to the TNF superfamily and are type I and type II transmembrane proteins, respectively. Binding of FasL to Fas triggers apoptosis in Fas-bearing cells. The mechanism of apoptosis involves recruitment of pro-caspase 8 through an adaptor molecule called FADD followed by processing of the pro-enzyme to active forms. These active caspases then cleave various cellular substrates leading to the eventual cell death. sFasR is capable of inhibiting FasL-induced apoptosis by acting as a decoy receptor that serves as a sink for FasL.
• Source: Mammalian cells
• Molecular Weight: The predicted molecular weight of Recombinant Human sFasR is 45 kDa.
• State Of Matter: Lyophilized.
• Purity: >97% by SDS Page and analyzed by silver stain.
• Endotoxin: <0.1 ng per 1 µg as determined by the LAL method.
• Biological Activity: The biological activity of Human Soluble Fas Receptor is determined by its ability to inhibit the cytotoxicity of Jurkat cells. The expected ED50 for this effect is 10-15 mg/ml in the presence of 2 ng/ml of human FasL.
• Storage: This lyophilized protein is stable for six to twelve months when stored desiccated at -20℃ to -70℃. After aseptic reconstitution, this protein may be stored at 2℃ to 8℃ for one month or at -20℃ to -70℃ in a manual defrost freezer. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles. See Product Insert for exact lot specific storage instructions.
