Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, occurs during normal cellular differentiation and development of multicellular organisms. Apoptosis is induced by certain cytokines including TNF and Fas ligand of the TNF family through their death domain containing receptors, TNFR1 and Fas. DR3 is a cell surface receptor with a death domain, with functional similarities to TNFR1 and Fas (CD95). The receptor for DR3 has very recently been identified and has been termed Apo-3L. DR3 itself has also been called Wsl-1, Apo-3, TRAMP and LARD, a functionally induces apoptosis and NF-KB activation.

Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested.

Western Blot: 1-5ug/ml. Detects a band at ~59kD when using total cell lysate from Jurkat celss under denturing and reducing conditions. Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
