Human Fas Ligand, recombinant (N-6His)

Recombinant Human Tumor Necrosis Factor Ligand Superfamily Member 6 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Pro134-Leu281 is expressed with a 6His tag at the N-terminus. Protein function: Cytokine that binds to TNFRSF6/FAS, a receptor that transduces the apoptotic signal into cells (PubMed:26334989, PubMed:9228058). Involved in cytotoxic T-cell-mediated apoptosis, natural killer cell-mediated apoptosis and in T-cell development (PubMed:9228058, PubMed:7528780, PubMed:9427603). Initiates fratricidal/suicidal activation-induced cell death (AICD) in antigen- activated T-cells contributing to the termination of immune responses. TNFRSF6/FAS-mediated apoptosis has also a role in the induction of peripheral tolerance. Binds to TNFRSF6B/DcR3, a decoy receptor that blocks apoptosis (PubMed:27806260). [The UniProt Consortium]
