Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 6 (FAS, APT1, FAS1, TNFRSF6)
Order number: 70081
Description
We are excited to introduce our off-the-shelf, full-length, active, and native Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Superfamily Member 6, commonly known as FAS. This essential protein forms the death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) upon ligand binding, which can trigger apoptosis and is associated with cancer. FAS plays a critical role in the immune system, making it a promising target for preclinical studies and assay development.
Our FAS protein has been solubilized and stabilized using our NativeMP™ platform, ensuring it retains its native structure and full biological activity, making it ideal for various research applications.
Applications:
- Screening/Validation
- Biologics Development
- Structure Determination
- Small Molecule Drug Development
The protein delivered can be used for these specific applications. When ordering, please indicate which applications you intend to use the protein for in the contact form to ensure the best results.

Function | Receptor for TNFSF6/FASLG. The adapter molecule FADD recruits caspase-8 to the activated receptor. The resulting death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) performs caspase-8 proteolytic activation which initiates the subsequent cascade of caspases (aspartate-specific cysteine proteases) mediating apoptosis. FAS-mediated apoptosis may have a role in the induction of peripheral tolerance, in the antigen-stimulated suicide of mature T-cells, or both. The secreted isoforms 2 to 6 block apoptosis (in vitro). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19118384, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7533181}. |
