sFas Receptor Human Recombinant
Fas and Fas Ligand (FasL) are members of the TNF superfamily and are type I and type II transmembrane proteins, respectively. Binding of FasL to Fas initiates apoptosis in Fas-bearing cells. The apoptosis mechanism involves the recruitment of pro-caspase 8 through an adaptor molecule named FADD followed by processing of the pro-enzyme to active forms. These active caspases subsequently cleave a variety of cellular substrates leading to the eventual cell death. sFasR is able to inhibit FasL-induced apoptosis by acting as a decoy receptor whicht serves as a sink for FasL. The full length Fas Receptor is a 319 a.a type I transmembrane protein, which contains a 157 a.a extracellular domain, a 17 a.a transmembrane domain, and 145 a.a cytoplasmic domain. The mature human Fas ECD shares 55%, 58%, a.a sequence identity with the mouse, rat, Fas, respectively.
| Description | sFas Receptor Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 157 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 17.6kDa. The FAS is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |

| Purity | >96% as determined by SDS-PAGE and HPLC |
| Formulation | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. FAS protein was lyophilized from a 0.2µm filtered concentrated solution in 1×PBS, pH 7.4. |
| Stability | The lyophilized form of the protein is stable at room temperature for 3 weeks and at -20°C for at least 2 years from the date of receipt. Upon reconstitution, the protein should be stored at 4°C for no more than 7 days. The protein is stable at -20°C for six months. For long term storage, please store at -80°C and the addition of a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is recommended. Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Biological Activity | The ED50 was determined by its ability to inhibit the cytotoxicity of Jurkat cells is between 10-15 µg/ml in the presence of 2ng/ml of hFasL. |
| Solubility | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized FAS in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
| Usage | LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. Not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. |
