Recombinant Human CRADD/RAIDD Protein

Death Domain-Containing Protein CRADD (CRADD) is widely expressed in most tissues; with particularly high expression in the adult heart; testis; liver; skeletal muscle; fetal liver; and kidney. CRADD contains one CARD domain that mediates the interaction with caspase-2; and one death domain involved in the binding of RIP protein. CRADD functions as an apoptotic adaptor molecule specific for caspase-2 and FASL/TNF receptor-interacting protein RIP. CRADD induces cell apoptosis/cell death in numerous tissues. Defects in CRADD will result in mental retardation.

Generally, lyophilized proteins are stable for up to 12 months when stored at -20 to -80°C. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.
