Anti-TNF Receptor II/TNFRSF1B Antibody Picoband® Fluoro647 Conjugated

TNFRSF1B (Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Subfamily Member 1B), also known as TNFR2 or TNFBR, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TNFRSF1B gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, which also contains TNFRSF1A. By linkage analysis, Santee and Owen Schaub (1996) confirmed the mapping of the TNFR2 gene to 1p36.3-p36.2. TNFBR (TNFR75) is the larger of the 2 TNF receptors. It is present on many cell types, especially those of myeloid origin, and is strongly expressed on stimulated T and B lymphocytes. Beltinger et al. (1996) noted that TNFR2 is the main TNF receptor found on circulating T cells and is the major mediator of autoregulatory apoptosis in CD8+ cells. TNFR2 may act with TNFR1 to kill nonlymphoid cells.

Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 1B; Tumor necrosis factor receptor 2; TNF-R2; Tumor necrosis factor receptor type II; TNF-RII; TNFR-II; p75; p80 TNF-alpha receptor; CD120b; Tnfrsf1b; Tnfr-2, Tnfr2

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the N-terminus of mouse TNF Receptor II, different from the related rat sequence by three amino acids.

Receptor with high affinity for TNFSF2/TNF-alpha and approximately 5-fold lower affinity for homotrimeric TNFSF1/lymphotoxin-alpha. The TRAF1/TRAF2 complex recruits the apoptotic suppressors BIRC2 and BIRC3 to TNFRSF1B/TNFR2 (By similarity) . .
