Background: Fas, also known as CD95, APO-1 and TNFRSF6, is a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily. This receptor contains a death domain. It has been shown to play a central role in the physiological regulation of programmed cell death, and it has been implicated in the pathogenesis of various malignancies and diseases of the immune system. The interaction of Fas with its ligand allows the formation of a death-inducing signaling complex that includes Fas-associated death domain protein (FADD), caspase 8, and caspase 10. The autoproteolytic processing of the caspases in the complex triggers a downstream caspase cascade and leads to apoptosis. This receptor has been also shown to activate NF-kappaB, MAPK3/ERK1, and MAPK8/JNK, and it is found to be involved in transducing the proliferating signals in normal diploid fibroblast and T cells.

NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily. This receptor contains a death domain. It has been shown to play a central role in the physiological regulation of programmed cell death, and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of various malignancies and diseases of the immune system. The interaction of this receptor with its ligand allows the formation of a death-inducing signaling complex that includes Fas-associated death domain protein (FADD), caspase 8, and caspase 10. The autoproteolytic processing of the caspases in the complex triggers a downstream caspase cascade, and leads to apoptosis. This receptor has been also shown to activate NF-kappaB, MAPK3/ERK1, and MAPK8/JNK, and is found to be involved in transducing the proliferating signals in normal diploid fibroblast and T cells. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, some of which are candidates for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). The isoforms lacking the transmembrane domain may negatively regulate the apoptosis mediated by the full length isoform. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]
Uniprot Description
Function: Receptor for TNFSF6/FASLG. The adapter molecule FADD recruits caspase-8 to the activated receptor. The resulting death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) performs caspase-8 proteolytic activation which initiates the subsequent cascade of caspases (aspartate-specific cysteine proteases) mediating apoptosis. FAS-mediated apoptosis may have a role in the induction of peripheral tolerance, in the antigen-stimulated suicide of mature T-cells, or both. The secreted isoforms 2 to 6 block apoptosis (in vitro). Ref.4 Ref.28
Subunit structure: Binds DAXX. Interacts with HIPK3. Part of a complex containing HIPK3 and FADD
By similarity. Binds RIPK1 and FAIM2. Interacts with BRE and FEM1B. Interacts with FADD. Ref.15 Ref.16 Ref.17 Ref.19 Ref.23 Ref.28
Subcellular location: Isoform 1: Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein Ref.28. Isoform 2: Secreted Ref.28. Isoform 3: Secreted Ref.28. Isoform 4: Secreted Ref.28. Isoform 5: Secreted Ref.28. Isoform 6: Secreted Ref.28.
Tissue specificity: Isoform 1 and isoform 6 are expressed at equal levels in resting peripheral blood mononuclear cells. After activation there is an increase in isoform 1 and decrease in the levels of isoform 6. Ref.3
Domain: Contains a death domain involved in the binding of FADD, and maybe to other cytosolic adapter proteins.
Post-translational modification: N- and O-glycosylated. O-glycosylated with core 1 or possibly core 8 glycans. Ref.26
Involvement in disease: Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome 1A (ALPS1A) [MIM:601859]: A disorder of apoptosis that manifests in early childhood and results in the accumulation of autoreactive lymphocytes. It is characterized by non-malignant lymphadenopathy with hepatosplenomegaly, and autoimmune hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia and neutropenia.Note: The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Product Notes
The Mouse FAS / APO-1 / CD95 fas (Catalog #AAA355328) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA355328 ELISA Kit recognizes Mouse FAS / APO-1 / CD95. AAA Biotech's FAS / APO-1 / CD95 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Quantitative sELISA (EIA). For quantitative detection of FAS in mouse serum, plasma, body fluids, tissue lysates or cell culture supernatants. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the FAS / APO-1 / CD95 fas 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 "FAS / APO-1 / CD95, ELISA Kit" 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
