Membrane-bound form of TNF-a is cleaved by a convertase to generate a secreted 17kD mature protein. TNF-a converting enzyme, TACE, is a membrane bound metalloprotease-disintegrin. It also processes other cell surface proteins, including TNF receptor, TGFa, and alpha cleavage of amyloid protein precursor.
