Recombinant Human TNFRSF1B Protein, hFc Tag

Molecular Characterization: TNFRSF1B (Leu23-Asp257) hFc (Glu99-Ala330) Molecular weight: The protein has a predicted molecular mass of 51.3 kDa after removal of the signal peptide. The apparent molecular mass of TNFRSF1B-hFc is approximately 55-70kDa due to glycosylation.Description: Recombinant Human TNFRSF1B Protein with C-terminal human Fc tagThe protein encoded by this gene is a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily. This protein and TNF-receptor 1 form a heterocomplex that mediates the recruitment of two anti-apoptotic proteins, c-IAP1 and c-IAP2, which possess E3 ubiquitin ligase activity. The function of IAPs in TNF-receptor signalling is unknown, however, c-IAP1 is thought to potentiate TNF-induced apoptosis by the ubiquitination and degradation of TNF-receptor-associated factor 2, which mediates anti-apoptotic signals. Knockout studies in mice also suggest a role of this protein in protecting neurons from apoptosis by stimulating antioxidative pathways.
