WARNING: Reagents contain sodium azide. Sodium azide is very toxic if ingested or inhaled. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. Wear eye or face protection when handling. If skin or eye contact occurs, wash with copious amounts of water. If ingested or inhaled, contact a physician immediately. Sodium azide yields toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide-containing compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in lead or copper plumbing.

Background
Apoptosis is regulated by death domain (DD) and/or caspase recruitment domain (CARD) containing molecules and a caspase family of proteases.CARD domain containing cell death regulators include RAIDD, Apaf-1, caspase-9, and caspase-2.A novel CARD domain containing protein was recently identified and designated ARC for apoptosis repressor with CARD.ARC interacts with caspase-2 and -8 and inhibits enzymatic activity of caspase-8.ARC suppresses apoptosis induced by cell death adapters FADD and TRADD and by cell death receptors Fas, TNFR-1 and DR3.The messenger RNA of ARC is primarily expressed in skeletal muscle and cardiac tissue.
