FAS was initially purified and cloned from SKW6.4 cells and a cDNA library of human T cell lymphoma KT-3 cells. FAS is a type I transmembrane protein and belongs to the TNF receptor superfamily. The extracellular region of the FAS possesses three cystein-rich domains characteristic of the TNF superfamily, and the intracellular region includes a death domain (DD). The binding of FASL to FAS induces conformational changes in FAS, leading to recruitment of FADD and procaspase-8, and assembly of the death-inducing signalling complex (DISC). Subsequently, caspase 8 is released from DISC and induces activation of caspase 3 and 7, proteolysis of cellular components, and apoptosis. Biological effects not based on apoptotic cell death have also been described. The interaction of FAS/FASL in immature dendritic cells (DCs) induces functional maturation. Fas-activated DCs increase the expression of MHC II, B7 co-stimulatory molecules, and DC–lysosome-associated membrane protein (DC-LAMP), and secrete proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β and TNF-α. In addition, FAS/FASL interaction increases the production of chemokines in NK-T cells, and FASL acts as a survival factor for human CD34+ cells and increases their colony formation. Human activated PBMC and tumor cell lines express full-length mRNA and several mRNA FAS variants derived by alternative splicing; deletion of an exon encoding the transmembrane domain results in a soluble FAS molecule that blocks apoptosis. Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus show high levels of soluble FAS.

Related FAQs
- Do you guarantee that your antibodies are totally pathogen free?
-
BioLegend does not test for pathogens in-house aside from the GoInVivo™ product line. However, upon request, this can be tested on a custom basis with an outside, independent laboratory.
- Does BioLegend test each Ultra-LEAF™ antibody by functional assay?
-
No, BioLegend does not test Ultra-LEAF™ antibodies by functional assays unless otherwise indicated. Due to the possible complexities and variations of uses of biofunctional antibodies in different assays and because of the large product portfolio, BioLegend does not currently perform functional assays as a routine QC for the antibodies. However, we do provide references in which the antibodies were used for functional assays and we do perform QC to verify the specificity and quality of the antibody based on our strict specification criteria.
- Does BioLegend test each Ultra-LEAF™ antibody for potential pathogens?
-
No, BioLegend does not test for pathogens in-house unless otherwise indicated. However, we can recommend an outside vendor to perform this testing as needed.
- Have you tested this Ultra-LEAF™ antibody for in vivo or in vitro applications?
-
We don't test our antibodies for in vivo or in vitro applications unless otherwise indicated. Depending on the product, the TDS may describe literature supporting usage of a particular product for bioassay. It may be best to further consult the literature to find clone specific information.
