- BACKGROUND
| Description | 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-2/DR5 is a 14.9 kDa protein (133 amino acid residues) consisting of the TNFR homologous, cysteine rich portion of the extracellular domain. |
|---|---|
| BiologicalActivity | sTRAIL Rec 2 reduced the production of LPS-induced TNF by its ability to neutralize endogenous TRAIL in fresh human PBMC. In this assay, endogenous TRAIL is induced during a 24 hour exposure to LPS (10 ng/mL) but in the presence of sTRAIL Rec 2, TRAIL-induced TNF is suppressed. |
| Authenticity | Verified by N-terminal and Mass Spectrometry analyses (when applicable). |
| Endotoxin | Endotoxin level is <0.1 ng/ µg of protein (<1EU/ µg). |
| Protein Content | Verified by UV Spectroscopy and/or SDS-PAGE gel. |
| Storage | -20°C |
| Precautions | Recombinant Human sTRAIL Receptor-2 is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |

Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.
