Anti-TNFRSF10B / DR5 monoclonal Antibody

Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 10B; Death receptor 5; TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand receptor 2; TRAIL receptor 2; TRAIL-R2; CD262; TNFRSF10B; DR5, KILLER, TRAILR2, TRICK2, ZTNFR9; UNQ160/PRO186;

Widely expressed in adult and fetal tissues; very highly expressed in tumor cell lines such as HeLaS3, K-562, HL-60, SW480, A-549 and G-361; highly expressed in heart, peripheral blood lymphocytes, liver, pancreas, spleen, thymus, prostate, ovary, uterus, placenta, testis, esophagus, stomach and throughout the intestinal tract; not detectable in brain.

The antibody was affinity-purified from mouse ascites by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is > 95% (by SDS-PAGE) .

Receptor for the cytotoxic ligand TNFSF10/TRAIL (PubMed:10549288) . The adapter molecule FADD recruits caspase-8 to the activated receptor. The resulting death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) performs caspase-8 proteolytic activation which initiates the subsequent cascade of caspases (aspartate-specific cysteine proteases) mediating apoptosis. Promotes the activation of NF-kappa-B. Essential for ER stress-induced apoptosis.
