ActivityPlease contact us to obtain bioactivity data.
BufferIf the delivery form is liquid, the default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose.
StorageStore at -20°C/-80°C upon receipt, aliquoting is necessary for mutiple use. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Research AreasApoptosis

Function

Lacks the catalytic site and may interfere with the pro-apoptotic activity of the complex.

Biological Context

Subcellular Location: Cytoplasm; Nucleus; Cell projection, lamellipodium
Tissue Specificity: Isoform 1, isoform 5 and isoform 7 are expressed in a wide variety of tissues. Highest expression in peripheral blood leukocytes, spleen, thymus and liver. Barely detectable in brain, testis and skeletal muscle
Disease Association: Caspase-8 deficiency (CASP8D) : Disorder resembling autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS). It is characterized by lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, and defective CD95-induced apoptosis of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs). It leads to defects in activation of T-lymphocytes, B-lymphocytes, and natural killer cells leading to immunodeficiency characterized by recurrent sinopulmonary and herpes simplex virus infections and poor responses to immunization. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry]

Subunit

(Microbial infection) Interacts (via RIP homotypic interaction motif) with herpes simplex virus 2/HHV-2 protein RIR1/ICP10 (via RIP homotypic interaction motif); this interaction prevents necroptosis activation
