Rabbit Anti-CED6/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Several proteins involved in regulating and executing programmed cell death have been identified in C. elegans. CED-3, a member of the ICE protease/caspase family, and CED-4, a homolog of the mammalian Apaf-1, promote apoptosis. CED-9, a homolog of the mammalian Bcl-2 protein, inhibits cell death. EGL-1 and CED-6 both function as death-promoting proteins, with CED-6 playing a role in the engulfment of apoptotic cells. CED-5 and CED-7 are C. elegans orthologs of the mammalian DOCK36 and ABC transporter proteins, respectively, and also play a role in the engulfment of dying cells.
Function:
May function as an adapter protein. Required for efficient phagocytosis of apoptotic cells. Modulates cellular glycosphingolipid and cholesterol transport. May play a role in the internalization and endosomal trafficking of various LRP1 ligands, such as PSAP. Increases cellular levels of GTP-bound ARF6.
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm. May associate with the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane and early endosomes.
Tissue Specificity:
Widely expressed. Detected in macrophages, pancreas, kidney, skeletal muscle, heart, colon, intestine, lung, placenta and ovary.
Similarity:
Belongs to the ced-6 family.
Contains 1 PID domain.
