TRAIL, murine recombinant
Activates rapid apoptosis in tumor cells
Product Overview
Product Name: TRAIL, murine recombinant
Alternate Name/Synonyms: TNF-related apoptosis-inducing Ligand, TNFSF10, Apo2 Ligand, TL2
Gene Symbol: TRAIL
Accession #: P50592
Gene ID: 22035
Source: E. Coli
Appearance: Lyophilized powder
Physical Form Description: Sterile filtered through a 0.2 micron filter. Lyophilized from 10 mM Sodium Phosphate, pH 7.0
Molecular Weight: 20.0 kDa
Purity by SDS-PAGE: ≥95%
Purity by HPLC: N/A
Endotoxin Level: < 0.1 ng/μg of protein (<1EU/μg).
Biological Activity: Assay #1: Determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of MIP-2 production by mouse spleen cells using a concentration range of 10-100 ng/ml.
Assay #2: Measured by its ability to induce apoptosis in LN-18 cells (human glioblastoma cells). The expected ED50 for this effect is 40.0-60.0 ng/ml.
Reconstitution Instructions: Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. Do not vortex. This solution can be stored at 2-8°C for up to 1 week. For extended storage, it is recommended to further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein (example 0.1% BSA) and store in working aliquots at -20°C to -80°C.
Storage Temp.: -20°C
Shipping: Gel pack
Background Information: TRAIL is a cytotoxic protein, which activates rapid apoptosis in tumor cells, but not in normal cells. TRAIL induced apoptosis is achieved through binding to two death-signaling receptors, DR4 and DR5. These receptors belong to the TNFR superfamily of transmembrane proteins and contain a cytoplasmic “death domain”, which activates the cell’s apoptotic machinery. Recombinant murine TRAIL is a 174 amino acid polypeptide (20.0 kDa), consisting of the TNF homologous portion of the extracellular domain of the full length TRAIL protein.
