Gene Information

General description

DR4, referred to as TRAIL Receptor-1, is a novel death domain containing receptor whose ligand has been identified as TRAIL or apoptosis-inducing ligand 2 (Apo2L). It is a member of the TNF superfamily of receptors that induce apoptosis. It is expressed in most human tissues including spleen, peripheral blood leukocytes, small intestine, and thymus.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 1-20 of the N-terminal of the mature human DR4.

Application

Anti-DR4 antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for microarray and immunoblotting at a working dilution of 1:500-1:1000 using total HeLa, K562, and Jurkat whole cell lysates. It was used as a primary antibody in the immunodetection of DR4 in cell lysate of human small cell lung carcinoma cells. It was used as a primary antibody in the immunoblot analysis of fetal and adenocarcinoma epithelial colon cells in a study.
Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.
Western Blotting (1 paper)

Biochem/physiol Actions

DR4 induces apoptosis in a variety of human tumor cell lines, but not in normal cells and activates NF-κB.

Physical form

Solution in phosphate buffered saline containing 0.02% sodium azide

The resistance of transformed epithelial cells to a detachment-induced apoptosis (anoikis) can significantly affect their susceptibility to anticancer therapy. We showed that detachment of both fetal (FHC) and adenocarcinoma (HT-29) human colon epithelial cells resulted in the activation of the

TRAIL is considered as a promising anti-cancer agent, because of its ability to induce apoptosis in cancer but not in most normal cells. However, growing evidence exist that many cancer cells are resistant to its apoptotic effects. SCLC is a

TRAIL induces apoptosis through two closely related receptors, TRAIL-R1 (DR4) and TRAIL-R2 (DR5). Here we show that TRAIL-R1 can associate with TRAIL-R2, suggesting that TRAIL may signal through heteroreceptor signaling complexes. Both TRAIL receptors bind the adaptor molecules FADD and
