Rabbit Anti-Fas Ligand antibody

Product Detail FasL (CD95L) is a cytokine that binds to TNFRSF6/FAS, a receptor that transduces the apoptotic signal into cells. May be involved in cytotoxic T cell mediated apoptosis and in T cell development. TNFRSF6/FAS-mediated apoptosis may have a role in the induction of peripheral tolerance, in the antigen-stimulated suicide of mature T cells, or both. Binding to the decoy receptor TNFRSF6B/DcR3 modulates its effects. Homotrimer (Probable). May be released as type II membrane protein. Belongs to the tumor necrosis factor family

Function:
Cytokine that binds to TNFRSF6/FAS, a receptor that transduces the apoptotic signal into cells. May be involved in cytotoxic T-cell mediated apoptosis and in T-cell development. TNFRSF6/FAS-mediated apoptosis may have a role in the induction of peripheral tolerance, in the antigen-stimulated suicide of mature T-cells, or both. Binding to the decoy receptor TNFRSF6B/DcR3 modulates its effects.

Subunit:
Homotrimer (Probable). Interacts with ARHGAP9, BAIAP2L1, BTK, CACNB3, CACNB4, CRK, DLG2, DNMBP, DOCK4, EPS8L3, FGR, FYB, FYN, HCK, ITK, ITSN2, KALRN, LYN, MACC1, MIA, MPP4, MYO15A, NCF1, NCK1, NCK2, NCKIPSD, OSTF1, PIK3R1, PSTPIP1, RIMBP3C, SAMSN1, SH3GL3, SH3PXD2B, SH3PXD2A, SH3RF2, SKAP2, SNX33, SNX9, SORBS3, SPTA1, SRC, SRGAP1, SRGAP2, SRGAP3, TEC, TJP3 and YES1.

Subcellular Location:
Cell membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Secreted. Cytoplasmic vesicle lumen. Lysosome lumen. Note=May be released into the extracellular fluid, probably by cleavage form the cell surface. Is internalized into multivesicular bodies of secretory lysosomes after phosphorylation by FGR and monoubiquitination.

Post-translational modifications:
N-glycosylated.
The soluble form derives from the membrane form by proteolytic processing.
Phosphorylated by FGR on tyrosine residues; this is required for ubiquitination and subsequent internalization.
Monoubiquitinated.

DISEASE:
Defects in FASLG are the cause of autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome type 1B (ALPS1B) [MIM:601859]; also known as Canale-Smith syndrome (CSS). ALPS is a childhood syndrome involving hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia with massive lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly.

Similarity:
Belongs to the tumor necrosis factor family.
