    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    DcR2 Antibody detects transfected levels of human DcR2 protein.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human

    Source / Purification

    Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Leu300 within the cytoplasmic domain of human DcR2. Antibodies were purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

    Background

    The tumor necrosis factor receptor family, which includes TNF-RI, Fas, DR3, DR4, DR5, and DR6, plays an important role in the regulation of apoptosis in various physiological systems (1,2). The receptors are activated by a family of cytokines that include TNF, FasL, and TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL). They are characterized by a highly conserved extracellular region containing cysteine-rich repeats and a conserved intracellular region of about 80 amino acids termed the death domain (DD). The DD is important for transducing the death signal by recruiting other DD containing adaptor proteins (FADD, TRADD, RIP) to the death-inducing signaling complex (DISC), resulting in activation of caspases.
    Death receptor signaling can be controlled by a family of decoy receptors (DcR1, DcR2 and DcR3) that lack a cytoplasmic DD and inhibit death receptor-mediated apoptosis by competing for ligand binding (3-5). Expression of decoy receptors can contribute to chemosensitivity and may provide a mechanism for regulation of apoptosis in certain types of cancer (6-8).
