FADD Antibody (Human Specific) #2782
| Applications | Reactivity | Sensitivity | MW (kDa) | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| W | H | Endogenous | 28 | Rabbit |
Applications Key:
W=Western Blotting
Reactivity Key:
H=Human
Species cross-reactivity is determined by Western blot.
Specificity / Sensitivity
FADD Antibody (Human Specific) detects endogenous levels of human FADD protein.
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing rabbits with a synthetic peptide (KLH coupled) corresponding to residues surrounding Ser194 of human FADD. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Western Blotting
Western blot analysis of extracts from Jurkat and HeLa cells treated with 4 mM hydroxyurea or 1 µg/ml nocodazole (each for 20 hours), using FADD Antibody (Human Specific).
Background
Fas-associated death domain (FADD or Mort 1) functions as an important adaptor in coupling death signaling from membrane receptors, such as the Fas ligand and TNF family (DR3, DR4 and DR5), to caspase-8 (1,2). FADD has a carboxy-terminal death domain, which interacts with the cytoplasmic tail of the membrane receptor, and an amino-terminal death effector domain, which interacts with caspase-8. Clustering of the receptors upon stimulation brings about FADD and caspase-8 oligomerization, activating the caspase signaling pathway. Human FADD is phosphorylated mainly at Ser194, while mouse FADD is phosphorylated at Ser191. In both cases, the phosphorylation is cell cycle-dependent (3) and may be related to its regulatory role in embryonic development and cell cycle progression (4,5).
