TNF-alpha (human) (multimeric) (Recombinant)

Source :HEK 293 cells Specific Binds to human and mouse TNF-R1 and TNF-R2.Tumor necrosis factor (TNF, cachexin or cachectin and formerly known as tumor necrosis factor-alpha) is a cytokine involved in systemic inflammation and is a member of a group of cytokines that stimulate the acute phase reaction. MultimericTNF-alphaâ„¢ is a high activity construct in which two trimeric TNF-alpha ligands are artificially linked via the collagen domain of ACRP30. The receptor TNF-R1 is activated by both the membrane-bound and soluble trimeric forms of TNF-alpha, whereas the receptor TNF-R2 only responds to the membrane-bound form of TNF-alpha (TNF-alpha (human) (multimeric) (rec.) (32-190048) . Since the MultimericTNF-alphaâ„¢ mimics the membrane-bound form (forms oligomers higher than trimer), it is the only TNF-alpha protein that can activate the TNF-R2. For TNF-R1 activation, either normal" TNF-alpha or MultimericTNF-alphaâ„¢ can be used."
