TNFA Bovine

Source: Escherichia Coli.Sterile filtered colorless solution.Tumor necrosis factor is a member of a group of cytokines that all stimulate the acute phase reaction. TNF is involved in systemic inflammationand secreted mainly 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.TNFA Bovine produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 158 amino acids (78-234 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 17.5kDa. TNFA is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
