FAIM2 (fas apoptotic inhibitory molecule 2), also known as LFG (protein lifeguard), TMBIM2 (transmembrane BAX inhibitor motif-containing protein 2) and NMP35 (neural membrane protein 35), is a 316 amino acid multipass membrane protein that uniquely protects cells from Fas-induced apoptosis. Though widely expressed, FAIM2 expression is highest in hippocampus. FAIM2 contains seven transmembrane domains and resembles Bax Inhibitor-1, another anti-apoptotic protein. Overexpression of FAIM2 results in decreased caspase activation and reduced incidence of programmed cell death. Though mechanistically related to the Fas signal, FAIM2 does not protect cells from apoptosis that is mediated by TNF-alpha signaling. FAIM2 specifically regulates apoptosis by binding to the FAS receptor.
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is > 95% (by SDS-PAGE).
