Anti-DcR2 produced in rabbit, affinity isolated antibody Catalog Number D3188 Synonyms: Anti-Decoy Receptor 2; Anti-Trail -R4; Storage/Stability Anti-TRUNDD Antibody can be stored at 2-8 °C for three months and at −20 °C for one year. As with all antibodies, care Product Description should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Anti-DcR2 is produced in rabbit using as immunogen a Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high peptide corresponding to amino acids 249-263 of temperatures. human DcR2 precursor. Product Profile Anti-DcR2 recognizes DcR2 by immunoblotting. Immunoblotting: DcR2 antibody can be used for detection of DcR2 expression by Western blot at Apoptosis or programmed cell death is induced in cells 1 μg/mL. A band of ~36 kDa is detected. by a group of death domain-containing receptors including TNFR1, Fas, DR3, DR4, and DR5. Binding of Note: In order to obtain best results in different ligand to these receptors sends signals that activate techniques and preparations we recommend members of the caspase family of proteases. The determining optimal working concentration by titration signals ultimately cause the degradation of test. chromosomal DNA by activating DNase. DR5 and DR4 are closely related members of the TNF family of death- References domain containing receptors. These proteins share 1.
