Human TRAIL protein (active)

9

Protein TRAIL (TNF-Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand) is a cytokine that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) ligand family. TRAIL induces apoptosis in transformed and tumor cells. This protein binds to several members of TNF receptor superfamily including TNFRSF10B/TRAILR2. Thus a binding ELISA assay was conducted to detect the interaction of TRAIL and TNFRSF10B. Briefly, recombinant human TRAIL were diluted serially in PBS, with 0.01% BSA (pH 7.4). Duplicate samples of 100 microl were then transferred to TNFRSF10B-coated microtiter wells and incubated for 2h at 37C. Wells were washed with PBST and incubated for 1h with anti-TRAIL pAb, then aspirated and washed 3 times. After incubation with HRP labelled secondary antibody, wells were aspirated and washed 3 times. With the addition of substrate solution, wells were incubated 15-25 minutes at 37C. Finally, add 50 microl stop solution to the wells and read at 450nm immediately. The binding activity of TRAIL and TNFRSF10B was in a dose dependent manner.

Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member

The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) ligand family. This protein preferentially induces apoptosis in transformed and tumor cells, but does not appear to kill normal cells although it is expressed at a significant level in most normal tissues. This protein binds to several members of TNF receptor superfamily including TNFRSF10A/TRAILR1, TNFRSF10B/TRAILR2, TNFRSF10C/TRAILR3, TNFRSF10D/TRAILR4, and possibly also to TNFRSF11B/OPG. The activity of this protein may be modulated by binding to the decoy receptors TNFRSF10C/TRAILR3, TNFRSF10D/TRAILR4, and TNFRSF11B/OPG that cannot induce apoptosis. The binding of this protein to its receptors has been shown to trigger the activation of MAPK8/JNK, caspase 8, and caspase 3. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]
