TNFA, HEK

SYNONYMS
TNF-alpha, Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 2, TNF-a, Cachectin, DIF, TNFA, TNFSF2.


INTRODUCTION
Tumor necrosis factor is a cytokine involved in systemic inflammation and is a member of a group of cytokines that all stimulate the acute phase reaction. TNF is mainly secreted by macrophages.
TNF causes apoptotic cell death, cellular proliferation, differentiation, inflammation, tumorigenesis and viral replication, TNF is also involved in lipid metabolism, and coagulation. TNF's primary role is in the regulation of immune cells.
Dysregulation and, in particular, overproduction of TNF have been implicated in a variety of human diseases- autoimmune diseases, insulin resistance, and cancer.


DESCRIPTION
TNF-a Human Recombinant produced in HEK cells is a glycosylated non-disulfide linked homotrimer, containing 157 and having total Mw of 17kDa.
The TNF-a is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
