Human TRAIL R1 also called DR4 (death receptor 4), is a 50-57kD, 468aa type 1 transmembrane protein in the TNF R family, designated TNFRSF10A. Of the five receptors for TRAIL (also called APO2 ligand) in humans, TRAIL R1/DR4 and TRAIL R2/DR5 are apoptosis-inducing and share 59% aa identity within the cytoplasmic death domain aa365- 448 of human TRAIL R1. Rodents do not express TRAIL R1/DR4. Human decoy receptors TRAIL R3 and TRAIL R4 have non-functional death domains but share ~60% aa identity with TRAIL R1 within extracellular TNFR domains aa107-229 while the secreted TRAIL receptor osteoprotegerin shares only 18% aa identity with TRAIL R1. Trimeric TRAIL engagement of TRAIL R1 induces apoptosis by recruiting a cytosolic death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) that includes the adaptor FADD and caspases 8 and 10. TRAIL R1 translational modifications, such as O-glycosylation and palmitoylation, promote apoptosis by enhancing oligomerization and presence in lipid rafts, respectively. Recombinant human TRAIL R1 neutralizes the ability of TRAIL to induce apoptosis. TRAIL R1 protein is expressed mainly in damaged, infected and malignant cells and can be repressed by hedgehog proteins in oncogenic cells. TRAIL R1 is also expressed on hemopoietic cells and influences activities such as monocyte migration. On senescent neutrophils, CXCL12/SDF-1 engagement of CXCR4 induces expression of all TRAIL R. TRAIL functions in immune surveillance, inducing apoptosis in cancer cells but not normal cells. TRAIL R1 surface expression correlates more closely than that of TRAIL R2 with TRAIL induction of apoptosis on tumor cells such as melanoma and chronic lymphocytic and acute myeloid leukemias. Recombinant corresponding to human TRAIL R1 (Ala109-Asn239) at N-terminal and human IgG1 (Pro100-Lys330) at C-terminal, fexpressed in CHO cell line. Molecular Weight: ~40.9kD Biological Activity: Measured by its ability to inhibit TRAIL-mediated cytotoxicity using L-929 mouse fibrosarcoma cells treated with TRAIL. The ED50 for this effect is typically 0.25-1.25ng/ml in the presence of 6ng/ml of Recombinant Human TNFSF10. Storage and Stability: Lyophilized and reconstituted products are stable for 6 months after receipt at -20C. Reconstitute with sterile PBS. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
