FUNCTION: Required for autophagy. Conjugates to ATG12 and associates with isolation membrane to form cup-shaped isolation membrane and autophagosome. The conjugate detaches from the membrane immediately before or after autophagosome formation is completed. FUNCTION: May play an important role in the apoptotic process, possibly within the modified cytoskeleton. Its expression is a relatively late event in the apoptotic process, occurring downstream of caspase activity. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. Colocalizes with nonmuscle actin. ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: 2 named isoforms produced by alternative splicing. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Ubiquitous. The mRNA is present at similar levels in viable and apoptotic cells, whereas the protein is dramatically highly expressed in apoptotic cells. INDUCTION: By apoptotic stimuli. PTM: Conjugated to ATG12; which is essential for autophagy, but is not required for association with isolation membrane. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the ATG5 family.

CNTF is a survival promoting factor for different types of neurons in vitro and in vivo. The essential structural features for the biological function of human CNTF were investigated by Thier, M. et al. They showed that deletion of 14 N-terminal and 18 C-terminal amino acids significantly increased bioactivity compared to wild-type CNTF. FUNCTION: CNTF is a survival factor for various neuronal cell types. Seems to prevent the degeneration of motor axons after axotomy. SUBUNIT: Homodimer. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Nervous system. PHARMACEUTICAL: CNTF is being tested under the name Axokine by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals for treatment of human motor neuron diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). As it induces substantial weight loss, preferentially of fat as opposed to lean body mass, it is being used for obesity treatment. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the CNTF family.

Anti-CRBN antibody [EPR28739-64] is a Rabbit Monoclonal antibody that is used in CRBN Flow Cytometry (Intra), IP, Western Blot. Suitable for Human, Mouse samples. Cereblon (CRBN) is a multifunctional protein located in the cytoplasm, nucleus, and peripheral membranes of the human tissues. CRBN is closely related to the proliferation and metabolism of normal cells as well as tumor cells.It is part of the CRL4 CRBN ubiquitin E3 ligase complex, which is crucial for the action of immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs) like lenalidomide and pomalidomide. These drugs bind to CRBN, leading to the degradation of transcription factors Ikaros and Aiolos, which are essential for myeloma cell survival. Additionally, novel cereblon E3 ligase modulators (CELMoDs) are being developed to overcome resistance to IMiDs, offering new therapeutic options for patients with CRBN mutation.

Anti-Fas antibody [EPR24898-74] is a Rabbit Monoclonal antibody that is used in Fas IHC-Fr, IHC-P, IP, Western Blot. Suitable for Mouse samples. FAS, also known as CD95 or APO-1, is a cell surface receptor that plays a significant role in regulating apoptosis (programmed cell death). FAS is crucial for inducing apoptosis in cancer cells. When FAS binds to its ligand (FASL), it triggers a cascade leading to cell death, which is essential for eliminating cancer cells.FAS was identified as an independent prognostic marker for recurrence free survival in breast cancer, with large variation in expression by receptor subtypes. Interestingly, the prognostic effect of CD8+ TILs in ER-negative disease was only valid for tumors with a high FAS expression.FAS expression might therefore act as a predictive factor for new emerging therapies.Researchers are exploring ways to enhance FAS signaling to prevent cancer relapse and improve the durability of immunotherapy responses.
