FLIP interacts with the adaptor protein FADD, and with Caspase-8 (FLICE) and Caspase-10 (FLICE2) to inhibit apoptosis induced by death receptors including CD95, DR3, TRAIL-R and TNFR1.
FLICE inhibitory proteins were initially identified in virus and human and were accordingly designated as v-FLIPs and c-FLIPs. Four spice variants of c-FLIP have been identified and are classified as FLIP alpha, beta, delta and gamma. AHP1591 recognizes human and murine delta and gamma variants but not the alpha or beta, variants.
FLIP is widely expressed in human tissues and a diverse range of cell lines.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry (frozen) and Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Immunohistochemistry (frozen): 2ug/ml
Western Blot: 1:1000
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, add sterile 40-50% glycerol, aliquot and store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
