Apoptosis in mammalian cells can be initiated through two major interrelated pathways, one involving engagement of the TNF family of death receptors, the other involving the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria. Unlike other members of the TNF ligand family, TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) preferentially induces apoptosis in tumor cell lines, but not in normal cells, suggesting that TRAIL could potentially represent a powerful cancer therapeutic. Recent experiments have revealed that one of the key regulators of TRAIL expression in lymphocytes is the NF-kappa B transcription factors. Several TRAIL receptors have been identified: two of these receptors TRAIL-R1:DR4 and TRAIL-R2:DR5 contain cytoplasmic death domains and signal apoptosis, while two other decoy receptors, TRAIL-R3:DcR1 and TRAIL-R4:DcR2 lack a functional death domain and do not mediate apoptosis.\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in Western Blot.
