FLIP Peptide
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a regulator of apoptosis and is structurally similar to caspase-8. However, the encoded protein lacks caspase activity and appears to be itself cleaved into two peptides by caspase-8. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene, and partial evidence for several more variants exists. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]
Uniprot Description
CFLAR: Apoptosis regulator protein which may function as a crucial link between cell survival and cell death pathways in mammalian cells. Acts as an inhibitor of TNFRSF6 mediated apoptosis. A proteolytic fragment (p43) is likely retained in the death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) thereby blocking further recruitment and processing of caspase-8 at the complex. Full length and shorter isoforms have been shown either to induce apoptosis or to reduce TNFRSF-triggered apoptosis. Lacks enzymatic (caspase) activity. TNFRSF6 stimulation triggers recruitment to the death- inducing signaling complex (DISC) formed by TNFRSF6, FADD and caspase-8. A proteolytic fragment (p43) stays associated with the DISC. Also interacts with caspase-10, caspase-3, TRAF1, TRAF2 and Bcl-X(L) (in vitro). Interacts with HBV protein X. Repressed by IL2/interleukin-2 after TCR stimulation, during progression to the S phase of the cell cycle. Widely expressed. Higher expression in skeletal muscle, pancreas, heart, kidney, placenta, and peripheral blood leukocytes. Also detected in diverse cell lines. Isoform 8 is predominantly expressed in testis and skeletal muscle. Belongs to the peptidase C14A family. 14 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The CFLAR cflar (Catalog #AAA151900) is a Blocking Peptide and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's FLIP can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Blocking (BL). FLIP peptide is used for blocking the activity of FLIP antibody. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the CFLAR cflar for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "FLIP, Blocking Peptide" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
