Anti-DR3/Tnfrsf25 Antibody Picoband® Fluoro488 Conjugated

TNFRSF25 (Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Superfamily Member 25), also known as LARD, APO3, DR3 or TNFR25, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TNFRSF25 gene. Members of the mammalian tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) family are cell-surface proteins that interact with a corresponding TNF-related ligand family. By fluorescence in situ hybridization, Marsters et al. (1996) mapped the Apo3 gene to 1p36.3. Marsters et al. (1996) showed that ectopic expression of Apo3 in mammalian cells triggered apoptosis and activated the transcription factor NF-kappa-B. They suggested that, like TNFR1, Apo3 may regulate distinct signaling pathways in different cellular contexts.

Thrombopoietin; C-mpl ligand; ML; Megakaryocyte colony-stimulating factor; Megakaryocyte growth and development factor; MGDF; Myeloproliferative leukemia virus oncogene ligand; THPO; MGDF

Lineage-specific cytokine affecting the proliferation and maturation of megakaryocytes from their committed progenitor cells. It acts at a late stage of megakaryocyte development. It may be the major physiological regulator of circulating platelets.
