TNFRSF12A

SYNONYMS
Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 12A, FN14, CD266 antigen, TweakR, tweak-receptor, Fibroblast growth factor-inducible immediate-early response protein 14, FGF-inducible 14, type I transmembrane protein Fn14.

INTRODUCTION
The gene for TNFRSF12A was initially recognized as a fibroblast growth factor inducible immediate early response gene Fn14 in mouse NIH 3T3 fibroblasts. Human TNFRSF12A cDNA encodes a 129 amino acid residue type I transmembrane protein with a 27 aa signal peptide, a 53 aa extracellular domain, a 21 aa transmembrane domain and a 28 aa cytoplasmic domain. Human and mouse TNFRSF12A hold 82% aa sequence identity. TNFRSF12 is the tiniest member of the TNF receptor superfamily and has only one cysteine rich region in its extracellular domain. The TNFRSF12A cytoplasmic domain holds one TRAF binding motif which binds TRAFs 1, 2, and 3. TNFRSF12A binds its ligand TWEAK/TNFSF12A with high affinity to initiate a signal transduction cascade which subject to the cell type, causes different cellular responses such as cell death, cell proliferation, and angiogenesis.

DESCRIPTION
TNFRSF12A Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 53 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 5.6 KDa.
The TNFRSF12A is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
