Description: TNFRSF10B (Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, member 10b) has many names, including DR5, CD262, KILLER, TRICK2, TRICKB, ZTNFR9, TRAILR2, TRICK2A, TRICK2B, TRAIL R2, KILLER/DR5. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily, and contains an intracellular death domain. This receptor can be activated by tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TNFSF10/TRAIL/APO-2L), and transduces apoptosis signal. Mice have a homologous gene, tnfrsf10b, that has been essential in the elucidation of the function of this gene in humans. Studies with FADD-deficient mice suggested that FADD, a death domain containing adaptor protein, is required for the apoptosis mediated by this protein. By analysis of radiation hybrid panels, Walczak et al.(1997) mapped the gene to chromosome 8p22-p21. Northern blot analysis indicated that TRAIL R2 was expressed as a 4.4-kb mRNA in all tissues tested, with the highest levels of expression in peripheral blood lymphocytes, spleen, and ovary.

Immunogen: An amino acid sequence from the C-terminus of human DR5/TRAIL R2 (DPTETLRQCFDDFADL) was used as the immunogen for this TRAIL R2 antibody.

Storage: After reconstitution, the TRAIL R2 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20 °C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
