Application

TRAIL human was used to induce cytotoxicity in A549, a human lung carcinoma cell line.

Biochem/physiol Actions

TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a type II transmembrane protein that belongs to TNF family. It is present in both soluble as well as membrane-bound form and can induce rapid apoptosis of various transformed cell lines but not the normal cells. Additionally, the product can also induces apoptotic cell death in TRAIL-sensitive U343MGcells.
Type II transmembrane protein of the TNF superfamily. Ligand for apoptosis-inducing death receptors DR4 and DR5, decoy receptors DcR1 and DcR2, and osteoprotegerin. Approximately 28% amino acid sequence identity to FAS ligand. Human and mouse TRAIL share 65% sequence identity.

Physical form

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in phosphate buffered saline containing 0.5 mg bovine serum albumin.

Analysis Note

Induces cytotoxicity in mouse L-929 cells in the presence of actinomycin D.

The tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) family is a still-growing group of homologous transmembrane proteins, some of which bear an intracellular "death domain" and are able to directly mediate apoptosis. Apoptosis is induced upon trimerization of the receptors by their

Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is considered as an antitumor agent owing to its ability to induce apoptosis of cancer cells without imparting toxicity toward most normal cells. TRAIL is produced in poor yield because of its insoluble expression

FEBS letters, 482(3), 193-199 (2000-10-12)
Resistance of normal cells to tumour necrosis factor related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) induced apoptosis is believed to be mediated by expression of two decoy receptors. Here we show that the expression and localisation of TRAIL receptors (TRAIL-Rs) vary between

A novel secreted glycoprotein that regulates bone resorption has been identified. The protein, termed Osteoprotegerin (OPG), is a novel member of the TNF receptor superfamily. In vivo, hepatic expression of OPG in transgenic mice results in a profound yet nonlethal

Gastric cancer cells are insensitive to tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), and we recently showed that lipid raft-regulated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activation antagonized TRAIL-induced apoptosis. However, it is not clear whether caveolin-1, an essential structural constituent of
