B/B Homodimerizer

Description

The B/B Homodimerizer is a membrane-permeant ligand that causes homodimerization of proteins fused to dimerization domain B DmrB provided in the iDimerize Inducible Homodimer System Cat. No. 635068 . NOTE: The B/B Homodimerizer is identical to the AP20187 ligand previously supplied in the ARGENT Regulated Homodimerization Kit from ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Back Exploiting fas-mediated apoptosis to induce programmed cell death.Fas-mediated apoptosis is triggered by trimerization of the fas receptor FasR via its interaction with the fas ligand FasL on an adjacent cell left . This FasR trimerization event activates the caspase 8 pathway. In the MaFIA mouse model, the fas death domain is fused to two repeats of a dimerization domain and expressed from a myeloid-specific promoter. Apoptosis of macrophage cells in this mouse is induced by treatment with B/B Homodimerizer AP20187 right . Back Back Back
