FLIP recognizes all FLIP splice variants including FLIPa, b, and y.
Purification
FLIP Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
FLIP antibody was raised against a peptide corresponding to 17 amino acids near the amino terminus of human FLIP. The sequence is identical in all FLIP splice variants. The immunogen is located within the first 50 amino acids of FLIP.
FLIP antibody can be used for Western blot at 1 - 2 μ,g/mL. Antibody can also be used for immunocytochemistry starting at 5 μ,g/mL and immunohistochemistry starting at 5 μ,g/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 20 μ,g/mL.
Antibody validated: Western Blot in human and mouse samples, Immunohistochemistry in mouse samples, Immunocytochemistry in human samples and Immunofluorescence in human and mouse samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

Target
FLIP (CFLAR)
(CASP8 and FADD-Like Apoptosis Regulator (CFLAR))
FLIP Antibody: 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 and CLARP3-7. 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. Four splice variants of c-FLIPs have been identified and termed FLIPalpha, beta, gamma, and delta, respectively.
