Biochem/physiol Actions
Type II transmembrane protein of the TNF superfamily. Ligand for apoptosis-inducing death receptors DR4 and DR5, decoy receptors DcR1 and DcR2, and osteoprotegerin. Approximately 28% amino acid sequence identity to FAS ligand. Human and mouse TRAIL share 65% sequence identity.
Physical form
Solution in 20 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, 300 mM sodium chloride, 0.01% Tween 20, 1% sucrose, and 0.1 mM DTT.
General description
Extracellular domain of human TRAIL (amino acids 95-281), fused at the N-terminus to a histidine-tag and a linker peptide.
