Anti-DR5/Tnfrsf10b Antibody Picoband®

Predicted to enable TRAIL receptor activity; identical protein binding activity; and protease binding activity. Predicted to be involved in TRAIL-activated apoptotic signaling pathway and positive regulation of apoptotic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within apoptotic process and regulation of apoptotic process. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus; cytosol; and membrane raft. Predicted to be active in cell surface and plasma membrane. Is expressed in bladder; liver; renal vasculature; urethra of female; and urethra of male. Human ortholog (s) of this gene implicated in carcinoma (multiple) ; cervical cancer; hematologic cancer (multiple) ; and urinary bladder cancer. Orthologous to several human genes including TNFRSF10A (TNF receptor superfamily member 10a) .

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.

Receptor for the cytotoxic ligand TNFSF10/TRAIL. 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. .
