Anti-TNFSF15 antibody (DMC464) ; IgG1 Chimeric mAb

Description :Anti-TNFSF15 antibody (DMC464) ; IgG1 Chimeric mAbThe protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) ligand family. This protein is abundantly expressed in endothelial cells; but is not expressed in either B or T cells. The expression of this protein is inducible by TNF and IL-1 alpha. This cytokine is a ligand for receptor TNFRSF25 and decoy receptor TNFRSF21:DR6. It can activate NF-kappaB and MAP kinases; and acts as an autocrine factor to induce apoptosis in endothelial cells. This cytokine is also found to inhibit endothelial cell proliferation; and thus may function as an angiogenesis inhibitor. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq; Feb 2011]
