TRAIL Receptor-1/DR4 and TRAIL Receptor-2/DR5 belong to the TNFR superfamily of transmembrane proteins and contain a cytoplasmic "death domain, " which can activate the cell's apoptotic machinery. These receptors are activated by binding to either membrane anchored or soluble TRAIL/Apo2L. Recombinant human soluble TRAIL Receptor-1/DR4 is a 22.7 kDa protein (215 amino acid residues) consisting of the TNFR homologous, cysteine rich portion of the extracellular domain.
Catalog #:
310-18
Source :
E.coli
Purity :
Greater than 98% by SDS-PAGE gel and HPLC analyses.
Endotoxin Level :
Endotoxin level is less than 0.1 ng per µg (1EU/µg).
Biological Activity :
Determined by its inhibitory effect of IL-8 production in human PBMC by human sTRAIL/Apo2L. 95% inhibition (100 ng/ml of s TRAIL/Apo2L) was reached using a concentration of 100 ng/ml of sTRAIL Receptor-1.
