DR5 is a death domain-containing receptor that is activated through a p53-depedent pathway in response to radiation and DNA damage . DR5 is involved in caspase activation and cell apoptosis . Anti-DR5 antibody is specific for DR5 in humans.
Immunogen
synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 388-407 of the human DR5 precursor.
Application
Anti-DR5 antibody may be used in western blot (1 μg/mL using human HeLa and K562 cell extracts), immunoblot and microarray.
Physical form
Solution in phosphate buffered saline containing 0.02% sodium azide

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is the leading cause of liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. It is believed that continuous liver cell apoptosis contributes to HCV pathogenesis. Recent studies have shown that HCV infection can sensitize host cells to TNF-related

TRAIL and its emerging receptors are the newest members of the TNF receptor super-family. The activation of TRAIL receptors by ligand binding leads to apoptosis through caspase activation through an as yet unclear signaling pathway that does not require the
KILLER/DR5, a tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) death receptor gene, has been shown to be induced by DNA damaging agents and radiation in a p53-dependent manner. Although TRAIL is a potential therapeutic agent for cancer, the induction mechanism of
Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL), a membrane-bound ligand from the TNF family, has attracted significant attention due to its rather specific and effective ability to induce apoptotic death in various types of cancer cells via binding
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
