Description: During apoptosis, cells exhibit morphological signs of the death process: cell shrinkage, membrane blebbing, and chromatin condensation. The role of the cell surface cytokine receptor, Fas (Apo-1, CD95), in apoptosis has been well characterized. The tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNF-R) can trigger cell death, as well as various other responses. Data suggested that Fas and TNF-R affect a common target in the cell death pathway. This target has been identified as FADD, a novel protein that contains a death domain homologous to the death domains of Fas and TNF-R1. FADD specifically binds to Fas, an association mediated by their homologous death domains. Overexpression of FADD induces apoptosis that is inhibited by CrmA, a poxvirus protein that blocks both Fas- and TNF-induced cell death. Thus, FADD is a central element of the Fas-mediated cell death pathway. This antibody is routinely tested by western blot analysis.

Characteristics: 1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
2. Please refer to us for technical protocols.
3. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
4. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
