The FAS Antibody from MyBioSource.com is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody. This antibody recognizes Human, Mouse, and Rat antigen. The FAS Antibody has been shown to work in the following applications: ELISA, Immunohistochemistry, and Western Blot.
Description
Function: Receptor for TNFSF6/FASLG. The adapter molecule FADD recruits caspase-8 to the activated receptor. The resulting death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) performs caspase-8 proteolytic activation which initiates the subsequent cascade of caspases (aspartate-specific cysteine proteases) mediating apoptosis. FAS-mediated apoptosis may have a role in the induction of peripheral tolerance, in the antigen-stimulated suicide of mature T-cells, or both. The secreted isoforms 2 to 6 block apoptosis (in vitro).
Subunit Structure: Binds DAXX. Interacts with HIPK3. Part of a complex containing HIPK3 and FADD (By similarity). Binds RIPK1 and FAIM2 (PubMed:7538908, PubMed:10535980). Interacts with BABAM2 and FEM1B (PubMed:10542291, PubMed:15465831). Interacts with FADD (PubMed:21109225, PubMed:19118384). Interacts directly (via DED domain) with NOL3 (via CARD domain); inhibits death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) assembly by inhibiting the increase in FAS-FADD binding induced by FAS activation (By similarity). Interacts with CALM (PubMed:24914971).
Post-translational Modifications: N-and O-glycosylated. O-glycosylated with core 1 or possibly core 8 glycans.
Similarity: Contains a death domain involved in the binding of FADD, and maybe to other cytosolic adapter proteins
