FAS antibody

Catalog No. ABIN94248

Product Details anti-FAS Antibody

Target: FAS (TNF Receptor Superfamily, Member 6 (FAS))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This FAS antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p))

Specificity: The antibody LT95 reacts with an extracellular epitope on CD95 (Fas/APO-1), a 46 kDa single chain type I glycoprotein of the tumour necrosis factor/nerve growth factor (TNF/NGF) receptor superfamily, expressed on a variety of normal and neoplastic cells. It seems that the antibody LT95 does not induce Fas mediated apoptosis, although it cross-blocks anti-Fas DX2 antibody that recognizes a functional epitope of Fas molecule.

Cross-Reactivity (Details): Human

Target Details for FAS

Target: FAS (TNF Receptor Superfamily, Member 6 (FAS))

Alternative Name: CD95 / Fas (FAS Products)

Background: Fas cell surface death receptor,CD95 (Fas, APO-1), a 46 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein, is a cell death receptor of the TNFR superfamily. Stimulation of CD95 results in aggregation of its intracellular death domains, formation of the death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) and activation of caspases. In type I cells caspase 3 is activated by high amounts of caspase 8 generated at the DISC, in type II cells low concentration of caspase 8 activates pathway leading to the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria and activation of caspase 3 by cytochom c. Besides its roles in induction of apoptosis, Fas also triggers pro-inflammatory cytokine responses.,FAS1, APT1, APO-1, FASTM, ALPS1A, TNFRSF6
