Description : |
Sharing 79% sequence identity with human Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (hTNF-α), mouse Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (mTNF-α) is a cytokine mainly expressed by immune cells. A type II transmembrane protein, TNF-α is further proteolytically processed to a soluble form. The trimeric active TNF-α then exerts its diverse biological properties including gapoptosis, inflammation, autoimmunity and cell proliferation by binding to TNF Receptor 1 and 2. |
