TRAIL, Human, Recombinant, NSO cells (C15-1307-084)

General description

Recombinant, human TRAIL (amino acids 95-281) with an amino-terminal 6X histidine tag and expressed in NSO cells. A type II transmembrane protein with a C-terminal extracellular domain that exhibits homology to other members of this tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family. Displays potent anti-tumor activity against selected targets. Induces apoptosis in a number of transformed cell lines but not in normal tissues. Recombinant bioactive TRAIL is a non-disulfide-linked homotrimer but may contain a small amount (up to 10%) of disulfide-linked homodimers.
