Binding or cross linking of the Fas antigen (also known as APO-1 and CD95) is known to elicit apoptosis in susceptible cells. Fas is a member
of a family of cell surface receptors which includes tumor necrosis factor receptors (TNF-R, and TNF-R2) and nerve growth factor receptors
(NGF-R), CD40, OX40, CD30, CD27, and 4-1BB. Several members of this family have been shown to regulate or induce cell death (TNF-R1
and TNF-R2). A 74 kDa member of this family protein named RIP (Receptor Interacting Protein) contains an N-terminal region with
homology to protein kinases and a C-terminal region containing a cytoplasmic "death domain" present in both Fas and TNF-R1. Both Fas and
RIP have been shown to require this death domain to induce apoptosis and overexpression of RIP has been shown to induce cell death in
transfected cells.

注意事项:
1.Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
2.Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
