Application Notes
- Functional Application: Inhibition of FAS Ligand activity in human and mouse: The apoptosis-inducing activity of FasL is inhibited by concentrations of 20-100 µg/mL of the fusion protein. Concentrations of Fas Ligand Inhibitor required to inhibit may vary depending on the cell viability and on the concentrations of sFasL used to kill the cells.

Background
- Fas is a 45 kDa type I transmembrane protein belonging to the TNF receptor family. Fas contains 3 cysteine-rich repeats in the extracellular portion and a cytoplasmic motif called the `death domain' (DD). Death signals are triggered upon binding to its trimeric ligand FasL which induces oligomerization of Fas. The DD associates with FADD, which in turn connects to aspartate-specific proteases (caspases) that are implicated as mediators of most types of apoptotic cell death. Synonyms: APO-1, CD95, TNFRSF 6
