Description : |
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily. This protein and TNF-receptor 1 form a heterocomplex that mediates the recruitment of two anti-apoptotic proteins, c-IAP1 and c-IAP2, which possess E3 ubiquitin ligase activity. The function of IAPs in TNF-receptor signalling is unknown, however, c-IAP1 is thought to potentiate TNF-induced apoptosis by the ubiquitination and degradation of TNF-receptor-associated factor 2, which mediates anti-apoptotic signals. Knockout studies in mice also suggest a role of this protein in protecting neurons from apoptosis by stimulating antioxidative pathways. |
Form : |
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
Bio-activity : |
The ED50 as determined by its ability to inhibit the TNF-a mediated cytotoxicity in the L-929 cells is less than 0.2 μg/mL, corresponding to a specific activity of > 5000 IU/mg in the presence of 0.25 ng/mL of rHuTNF-a. |

Purity : |
Greater than 97.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
Stability : |
Lyophilized TNFR2 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18 centigrade. Upon reconstitution TNFR2 should be stored at 4 centigrade between 2-7 days and for future use below -18 centigrade. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Storage Buffer : |
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH7.4. |
Reconstitution : |
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized TNFR2 in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100 μg/mL, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
Shipping : |
