Description
General description
Apoptosis is an important process by which normal tissue homeostasis and function are maintained. Toso (also known as Fas apoptotic inhibitory molecule 3, Regulator of Fas-induced apoptosis and FAIM3) is a novel regulator of Fas-induced apoptosis in lymphoid cells and when overexpressed in Jurkat cells as well as transgenic mice render these cells resistant to Fas-induced apoptosis but not to TRAIL-induced apoptosis. Furthermore, Toso was found to associate with FADD, suggesting that Toso functions by disrupting the formation of the death-inducing signaling complex.
~60 kDa observed.
Despite its predicted molecular weight of 43 kDa, Toso often migrates at 60 kDa in western blots.
Uncharacterized bands may be observed in some lysate(s).
