Apoptosis is induced by certain cytokines including TNF and Fas ligand of the TNF family through their death domain containing receptors, TNF-R1 and Fas.
Several novel death receptors including DR3, DR4, and DR5 were recently identified.
A new death domain containing receptor in the TNFR family was cloned recently and termed DR6 for death receptor-6.
Like TNF-R1, DR6 interacts with death domain containing adapter molecule TRADD.
Overexpression of DR6 induces apoptosis and activates NF-kB and JNK.
DR6 is widely expressed in human tissues and cell lines.
The ligand for DR6 has not been identified.
Applications:Suitable for use in Western Blot.
Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilutions:Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
