Recombinant Rabbit Tumor Necrosis Factor a/TNF-a

Source: E.coli. MW :17.59kD. Recombinant Rabbit Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding Val77-Leu235 is expressed. Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFa) is the prototypic ligand of the TNF superfamily. TNFa forms a homotrimer and functions by activating two types of receptors TNF-R1 (TNF receptor type 1, p55R) and TNF-R2 (TNF receptor type 2, p75R) . TNFa is a pleiotropic cytokine that is capable to promote inflammation, to induce apoptotic cell death, and to inhibit tumorigenesis and viral replication. TNFa is a potent lymphoid factor that exerts cytotoxic effects on a wide range of tumor cells and certain other target cells.
