MyBioSource.com's FAS Antibody is a Mouse monoclonal antibody. The FAS Antibody was generated using Fas, and SELE as the antigen. It reacts with Human. This antibody has been shown to work in applications such as: EIA, Immunoassay, and ELISA.
Description
Fas, also known as APO1, CD95, and TNFRSF6, was originally identified as a cellsurface protein which binds to monoclonal antibodies that were cytolytic for various human cell lines. In the new TNF Receptor superfamily nomenclature, Fas is referred to as TNFRSF6. Human Fas cDNA encodes a 325 amino acid (aa) residue type 1 membrane protein that belongs to the TNF and NGF receptor family. Alternatively spliced cDNAs encoding multiple Fas isoforms, including a soluble form of Fas lacking the transmembrane domain, have also been identified. Fas is highly expressed in epithelial cells, hepatocytes, activated mature lymphocytes, virus-transformed lymphocytes, and other tumor cells. Fas expression has also been detected in mouse thymus, liver, heart, lung, kidney and ovary. The ligand for Fas (FasL) has been identified and shown to be a member of the TNF family of type 2 membrane proteins. Fas-L is predominantly expressed by activated Tlymphocytes, NK cells, and in tissues with immuneprivileged sites. Soluble Fas-L can be produced by proteolysis of membrane-associated Fas
