CD95, also known as FAS or APO-1, is a 36 kDa cell surface type I- membrane glycoprotein with an apparent molecular weight of 44 kDa on SDS-PAGE. CD95 is a member of the TNF receptor family, which includes TNFR-1, TNFR-2, CD27, CD30 and CD40. Binding of CD95 Ligand to CD95 or crosslinking of CD95 by anti-CD95 monoclonal antibodies leads to apoptosis of CD95 expressing cells. CD95 belongs to a subgroup of family members that have a death domain (DD) which contains 70 amino acids near the carboxyl-terminal region of the molecule. The binding of adaptor molecules to this DD is responsible for transmitting the death signal for apoptosis. Stimulation of CD95 results in aggregation of its DD, leading to the recruitment of FADD and caspase-8 that together with the receptor form the death-inducing signaling complex (DISC).

FACS: Use at a concentration of 5 - 20 ?g/ml. FuncS: Use at a concentration of 500 ng/ml to block the apoptotic activity other anti-CD95 antibodies. IHC: Use at an assay dependent dilution. WB: Use at a concentration of 5 ?g/ml. Predicted molecular weight: 44 kDa. Not tested in other applications. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
