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.

Target
FLIP (CFLAR)
(CASP8 and FADD-Like Apoptosis Regulator (CFLAR))
Alternative Name
FLIP
Background
Apoptosis is related to many diseases and induced by a family of cell death receptors and their ligands.Cell death signals are transduced by death domain (DD) containing adapter molecules and members of the ICE/CED-3 protease family.Caspases-8 (FLICE) and -10 (FLICE2) are two pivotal members in the ICE/CED-3 protease family.FLICE-inhibitory proteins were identified in virus and human and designated v-FLIPs and FLIP respectively.The human FLIP was also cloned by several labs independently and termed Casper , I-FLICE, FLAME-1, CASH, CLARP and MRIT.FLIP contains two death effector domains (DEDs) and a caspase-like domain.FLIP interacts with adapter protein FADD and caspase-8 and 10, and potently inhibits apoptosis induced by all known death receptors CD95, DR3, TRAIL-R and TNFR1. Synonyms: I-FLICE
