Further Information

Additional Names:
FLASH Antibody: CED-4, FLASH, RIP25, KIAA1315, CASP8-associated protein 2, FLICE-associated huge protein
Application Note:
FLASH antibody can be used for detection of FLASH by Western blot at 0.5 μg/mL. An approximate 220 kDa band can be detected. Antibody can also be used for immunocytochemistry starting at 10 μg/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 10 μg/mL.

Antibody validated: Western Blot in human samples; Immunocytochemistry in human samples and Immunofluorescence in human samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.
Background:
FLASH Antibody: A novel mammalian CED-4 homologous was recently identified and cloned in mouse and human and designated FLASH (for FLICE-associated huge protein). FLASH is involved in Fas induced apoptosis. It is recruited to Fas after the receptor cross-linking. Overexpression of wild type of FLASH facilitates and its dominant negative form inhibits Fas induced apoptosis. FLASH interacts with the DEDs of caspase-8 and FADD through the DED-like domain of FLASH and mediates activation of caspase-8. There are parallels between FLASH and Apaf-1/CED-4 although there are arguments against their structural similarity. FLASH is widely expressed.

DISCLAIMER:
Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. The information provided is a guideline for product use. This product is for research use only.
Homology:
Predicted species reactivity based on immunogen sequence: Mouse: (94%)
Immunogen:
FLASH antibody was raised against a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids near the carboxy terminus of human FLASH which differ from those of mouse by one amino acid.

The immunogen is located within the last 50 amino acids of FLASH.
