INTRODUCTION
Human TNFRSF10A is a type 1 transmembrane protein in the TNF R superfamily. TNFRSF10A is not expressed in rodents. The trimeric ligand Trail binds TNFRSF10A and induces apoptosis, and recombinant, soluble forms of the receptor inhibit Trail-induced apoptosis. TNFRSF10A is expressed generally in damaged, infected, and malignant cells. TNFRSF10A functions in immune surveillance, inducing apoptosis in cancer cells but not normal cells.
DESCRIPTION
TNFRSF10A produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 224 amino acids (24-239a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 23.9kDa. (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 18-28kDa). TNFRSF10A is expressed with an 8 amino acid His tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
