Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha, Recombinant, Human (TNFa, Cachectin, TNF-alpha, Tumor Necrosis Factor Ligand Superfamily Member 2, TNF-a, TNF, TNFSF2)

Tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a) is a pleiotropic pro-inflammatory cytokine produced mainly by activated macrophages and in smaller amounts by several other types of cell. TNF-a has been isolated and characterized from a large number of mammals and fish species. TNF-a is expressed in two different forms: a soluble. Mature 17kD form and a transmembrane 26kD form. TNF-a interacts with two distinct cell-surface receptors : Tumor necrosis factor receptor 1(TNFR1) and TNFR2. these mediate the cellular actions. The actions of TNF-a are diverse and profound involving inflammation, apoptosis, cell proliferation and the stimulation of various aspects within the immune system. TNF-a is increasingly recognized as a key regulator of lipid metabolism in adipose tissue and protein catabolism in muscle and in disease states such as cancer, Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and obesity-related insulin resistance.\n\nSource:\nRecombinant corresponding to aa77-23, from human TNF-a, expressed in E.coli.\n\nMolecular Weight:\n~17.5kD\n\nEndotoxin Level:\n(same/less than)0.05EU/ug\n\nSpecific Activity: \nThe ED50 as determined by the cytolysis of murine L929cells in the presense of actinomycin D is 0.03-0.06 ng/ml.\n\nStorage and Stability:\nMay be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only.
