TNF beta, also known as lymphotoxin alpha (LT-alpha), is a homotrimeric polypeptide secreted by activated T and B lymphocytes, which binds to the TNF receptors TNFR1, TNFR2 and HVEM (herpes virus entry mediator receptor).
TNF-beta was originally isolated due to its cytotoxic effects on tumor cells, and has since been identified as a regulator of many cellular processes and a potent mediator of inflammation and immune responses against invading pathogens.
