Mouse Factor-related Apoptosis ligand, FASL ELISA Kit

Sample Types: serum, plasma, tissue homogenates Detection Range: 7.8 pg/mL-500 pg/mL Sensitivity: 1.95 pg/mL Assay Principle: quantitative Measurement: SandwichAssay Time: 1-5h Sample Volume: 50-100ulDetection Wavelength: 450 nmProtein function: Cytokine that binds to TNFRSF6/FAS, a receptor that transduces the apoptotic signal into cells (PubMed:7511063). Involved in cytotoxic T-cell-mediated apoptosis, natural killer cell-mediated apoptosis and in T-cell development (PubMed:19794494, PubMed:7532682). Initiates fratricidal/suicidal activation-induced cell death (AICD) in antigen-activated T-cells contributing to the termination of immune responses (PubMed:19794494). TNFRSF6/FAS-mediated apoptosis has also a role in the induction of peripheral tolerance (PubMed:10779162). Binds to TNFRSF6B/DcR3, a decoy receptor that blocks apoptosis. [The UniProt Consortium]
