Anti-Fas Ligand (FASLG), clone FASLG/4456

Formulation: Purified Ab WITHOUT BSA and Azide at 1.0mg/ml. Cellular Localization: Cell membrane, Cytoplasmic vesicle lumen, Lysosome lumen, Nucleus, Secreted. Positive Control: Human tonsil or prostate. Chromosome Location: 1q24.3. 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:7528780, PubMed:9228058, PubMed:9427603). Initiates fratricidal/suicidal activation-induced cell death (AICD) in antigen-activated T-cells contributing to the termination of immune responses (By similarity). TNFRSF6/FAS-mediated apoptosis also has a role in the induction of peripheral tolerance (By similarity). Binds to TNFRSF6B/DcR3, a decoy receptor that blocks apoptosis (PubMed:27806260) , Induces FAS-mediated activation of NF-kappa-B, initiating non-apoptotic signaling pathways (By similarity). Can induce apoptosis but does not appear to be essential for this process (PubMed:27806260) , Cytoplasmic form induces gene transcription inhibition [The Uniprot Consortium]
