Active Recombinant Human TNF Protein (Val77-Leu233), GMP Grade, Animal-Free

• Cat.No.: TNF-11HG
• Product Overview: GMP recombinant human TNF-alpha protein (Val77-Leu233) with and without an N-terminal Met was expressed in E. coli, produced using non-animal reagents in an Animal-Free laboratory and manufactured and tested under cGMP guidelines.

Specification

• Description: This gene encodes a multifunctional proinflammatory cytokine that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily. This cytokine is mainly secreted by macrophages. It can bind to, and thus functions through its receptors TNFRSF1A/TNFR1 and TNFRSF1B/TNFBR. This cytokine is involved in the regulation of a wide spectrum of biological processes including cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, lipid metabolism, and coagulation. This cytokine has been implicated in a variety of diseases, including autoimmune diseases, insulin resistance, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis ankylosing spondylitis, tuberculosis, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, and cancer. Mutations in this gene affect susceptibility to cerebral malaria, septic shock, and Alzheimer disease. Knockout studies in mice also suggested the neuroprotective function of this cytokine.
