Tumour necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) cytokine family. This ligand is a type II transmembrane protein that contains a short cytoplasmic N-terminal domain and a long C-terminal extracellular receptor-binding domain. TRAIL is highly expressed in immune system cells. The TRAIL gene is located on the human chromosome at 3q26.31.
Immunogen
purified, NSO-derived, recombinant human TRAIL extracellular domain.
Application
Monoclonal Anti-TRAIL antibody produced in mouse has been used in fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS).[1][2]
Biochem/physiol Actions
Tumour necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) binds to TRAIL 1 & 2 receptors and induces apoptosis. This ligand is involved in the homeostasis of T-cells and natural killer (NK) cells. TRAIL also aids in the T-cell-mediated killing of virus-infected cells and oncogenic transformed cells.
Physical form
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in phosphate buffered saline containing carbohydrates.

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have profoundly changed the natural history of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). However, acquired resistance to imatinib, dasatinib or nilotinib (1(st) and 2(nd) generation TKIs), due in part to BCR-ABL1 kinase mutations, has been largely described. These
Tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a promising anti-cancer agent that rapidly induces apoptosis in cancer cells. Unfortunately, the clinical application of recombinant TRAIL (rTRAIL) has been hampered by its common cancer resistance. Naturally TRAIL is delivered

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid membrane-enclosed nanoparticles released by cells. They mediate intercellular communication by transferring biological molecules and therefore have potential as innovative drug delivery vehicles. TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) selectively induces apoptosis of cancer cells. Unfortunately, the clinical

Tumour necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand or Apo2 ligand (TRAIL/Apo2L) is a member of the tumour necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily of cytokines that induces apoptosis upon binding to its death domain-containing transmembrane receptors, death receptors 4 and 5 (DR4, DR5). Importantly
The international journal of biochemistry & cell biology, 39(7-8), 1462-1475 (2007-04-04)
The TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand, TRAIL, has been shown to selectively kill tumour cells. This property has made TRAIL and agonistic antibodies against its death inducing receptors (TRAIL-R1 and TRAIL-R2) to some of the most promising novel biotherapeutic agents for cancer
