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

Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFA) also kowns as TNFR1, It is a potent cytokine, elicits a broad spectrum of biologic responses which are mediated by binding to a cell surface receptor. There are 2 different proteins that serve as major receptors for TNF-alpha, one associated with myeloid cells and one associated with epithelial cells. TNFR1 maps to 12p13. TNFR1 signaling is also known to activate the transcription factor NF-kappa B and promote survival. Tumor necrosis factor, alpha-induced protein 1 (endothelial), also known as TNFAIP1, is a human gene.The gene, present in single copy, was located in the 17q22-q23 region. This gene was identified as a gene whose expression can be induced by the tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF) in umbilical vein endothelial cells. Studies of a similar gene in mouse suggest that the expression of this gene is developmentally regulated in a tissue-specific manner. The protein is involved in the primary response of the endothelium to TNF.\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in ELISA and Immunohistochemistry.
