REACH authorisation
Abcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.
It is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.
Lysate preparation:
Our lysates are made using RIPA buffer to which we add a protease inhibitor cocktail and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (ratio: 300:100:10).
This means that the protein of interest is denatured.
If you require a native form of the protein please use the live cell version. Please refer to our lysis protocol for further details on how our lysates are prepared.

FADD also known as Fas-Associated protein with Death Domain is an adaptor molecule with a molecular weight of approximately 23 kDa. It plays a critical role in the transmission of apoptotic signals. FADD is widely expressed in various tissues particularly in the thymus and immune system cells. This protein serves as a bridge linking death receptors like Fas and TNFR-1 with caspase activation pathways.
Biological function summary
FADD is essential in apoptosis where it assists in the assembly of the death-inducing signaling complex (DISC). Upon receptor activation FADD recruits procaspase-8 or -10 to DISC promoting their autocatalytic cleavage and activation. This leads to the subsequent cascade that results in cell apoptosis. FADD also plays a role in necroptosis and is involved in the immune response regulation highlighting its multifunctional nature in cellular processes.
Pathways
FADD integrates into the apoptotic and necroptotic pathways. In the apoptotic pathway it interacts closely with Fas a death receptor to promote caspase-8 activation. Additionally in the necroptotic pathway FADD associates with RIP1 and RIP3 contributing to an alternative form of programmed cell death. These interactions underline its significant role in controlling cell fate decisions.
Aberrations in FADD function are associated with cancer and autoimmune diseases. Overexpression or mutation of FADD can lead to unchecked cell proliferation or defective apoptosis contributing to cancer development. In autoimmune disorders improper regulation of FADD may disrupt immune tolerance and lead to systemic inflammation. Key proteins involved in these disease processes include caspase-8 and RIPK1 which interact with FADD in regulating cell death and survival mechanisms.
