Description

TRAIL Receptor-1/DR4 and TRAIL Receptor-2/DR5 belong to the TNFR superfamily of transmembrane proteins, and contain a cytoplasmic "death domain," which can activate the cell's apoptotic machinery. These receptors are activated by binding to either membrane-anchored or soluble TRAIL/Apo2L. The DR4 and DR5 receptors are both produced as type I transmembrane proteins, which contain an extracellular domain, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic domain. The recombinant soluble forms of DR4 and DR5 consist of the TNFR-homologous, cysteine-rich portion of their respective extracellular domains. Recombinant Human soluble TRAIL Receptor-2/DR5 is a 14.9 kDa protein (133 amino acid residues) consisting of the TNFR-homologous, cysteine-rich portion of the extracellular domain.

Appearance

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Purity

> 97 % by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.

Biological Activity

Fully biologically active when compared to standard. rHusTRAIL-R2 reduced the production of LPS-induced TNF by its ability to neutralize endogenous TRAIL in fresh human PBMC. In this assay, endogenous TRAIL is induced during a 24 hour exposure to LPS (10 ng/mL) but in the presence of rHusTRAIL-R2, TRAIL-induced TNF is suppressed.

Endotoxin

< 1.0 EU per 1μg of the protein by the LAL method.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4.

Reconstitution

We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1 % BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20 °C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
