TRAIL-R1 to -R4 Flow Cytometry Pack Reference: AG-44B-0004 TRAIL-R1, -R2, -R3 and -R4 are receptors for the cytotoxic ligand TRAIL. When signaling through TRAIL-R1 and -R2, the adapter molecule FADD recruits caspase-8 to the activated receptor. The resulting death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) performs caspase-8 proteolytic activation which initiates the subsequent cascade of caspases (aspartate-specific cysteine proteases) mediating apoptosis. They promote the activation of NF-kappaB. TRAIL-R3 lacks a cytoplasmic death domain, and TRAIL-R4 contains a truncated death domain, and hence are not capable of inducing apoptosis. They protect cells against TRAIL mediated apoptosis by competing with TRAIL-R1 and R2 for binding to the ligand.

Nitric Oxide Synthase Assay Kit Reference: ARG81188 Nitric oxide is a reactive free radical which acts as a biologic mediator in several processes, including neurotransmission and antimicrobial and antitumoral activities. Nitric oxide is synthesized from L-arginine by nitric oxide synthases. Variations in this gene are associated with susceptibility to coronary spasm. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2009]
Alkaline Phosphatase Activity Assay Kit (Colorimetric) Reference: ARG81239 There are at least four distinct but related alkaline phosphatases: intestinal, placental, placental-like, and liver/bone/kidney (tissue non-specific). The first three are located together on chromosome 2, while the tissue non-specific form is located on chromosome 1. The product of this gene is a membrane bound glycosylated enzyme that is not expressed in any particular tissue and is, therefore, referred to as the tissue-nonspecific form of the enzyme. The exact physiological function of the alkaline phosphatases is not known. A proposed function of this form of the enzyme is matrix mineralization; however, mice that lack a functional form of this enzyme show normal skeletal development. This enzyme has been linked directly to hypophosphatasia, a disorder that is characterized by hypercalcemia and includes skeletal defects. The character of this disorder can vary, however, depending on the specific mutation since this determines age of onset and severity of symptoms. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2010]
