Anti-F1A alpha FEM1B Antibody

Fas and tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1) are two prototype members in the death receptor family. A novel protein that associates with the intracellular domains of Fas and TNFR1 was recently identified and designated F1Aalpha and FEM1β . F1Aalpha/FEM1β is the homologue of C. elegans sex determining protein FEM-1. FEM-1/F1Aalpha is cleaved by CED-3 and caspase. FEM-1/F1Aalpha associates with CED-4 and its mammalian homologue Apaf-1. Overexpression of F1Aalpha induces apoptosis. F1Aalpha is therefore a novel member of the death receptor associated protein that mediates apoptosis. F1Aalpha is expressed in a variety of human and mouse tissues.

F1A antibody was raised against a 14 amino acid peptide near the carboxy terminus of human F1A. The immunogen is located within the last 50 amino acids of F1A alpha.

Component of an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex, in which it may act as a substrate recognition subunit. Involved in apoptosis by acting as a death receptor-associated protein that mediates apoptosis. Also involved in glucose homeostasis in pancreatic islet. Functions as an adapter/mediator in replication stress-induced signaling that leads to the activation of CHEK1.

F1A alpha antibody can be stored at 4°C for three months and -20°C, stable for up to one year. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
