Recombinant human FASLG protein with C-terminal human Fc tag

Expression Host : HEK293 The protein has a predicted molecular mass of 45.21 kDa after removal of the signal peptide. This gene is a member of the tumor necrosis factor superfamily. The primary function of the encoded transmembrane protein is the induction of apoptosis triggered by binding to FAS. The FAS/FASLG signaling pathway is essential for immune system regulation, including activation-induced cell death (AICD) of T cells and cytotoxic T lymphocyte induced cell death. It has also been implicated in the progression of several cancers. Defects in this gene may be related to some cases of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) . Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.
