SODD (Silencer of Death Domains)

Tumor necrosis factor receptor-1 (TNF-R1) and other TNF receptor superfamily members, such as DR3, contain intracellular death domains (DD) and are capable of initiating apoptosis when activated by their ligands. Silencer of Death Domains (SODD) was identified as being involved in the cellular mechanism to protect against ligand-independent signaling by TNF-R1 and other DD receptors. SODD, also known as Bcl-2-Associated Athanogene 4 (BAG4), is a 457 amino acid (aa), anti-apoptotic protein that functions through interactions with a variety of proteins including BCL-2, Raf-protein kinase, steroid hormone receptors, growth factor receptors, and members of the heat shock protein 70 kD family. SODD is a ubiquitously expressed, cytoplasmic protein that contains a C terminal BAG domain that can bind and inhibit the chaperone activity of Hsc70/Hsp70. The association of SODD with the DD of TNF-R1 prevents constitutive activation of the TNF-R1 signaling pathway. Binding of TNF to TNF-R1 releases SODD and permits adapter molecules such as TRADD to associate with TNF-R1 leading to the activation of TNF signaling pathways such as apoptosis and NFkB activation.\n\nApplications: \nSuitable for use in Western Blot and ELISA. Other applications not tested.\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nWestern Blot: 0.5ug/ml\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nStorage and Stability:\nLyophilized powder may be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. Reconstitute to nominal volume by adding sterile 40-50% glycerol and store at -20 degrees C. Reconstituted product is stable for 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.
