Anti-CD266 / TWEAK R Monoclonal Antibody (Clone:ITEM-4)

CD266 / TWEAK R (TNFRSF12A), also known as FN14 (fibroblast growth factor-inducible 14) is a receptor for CD255 / TWEAK, the TNF-like weak inducer of apoptosis. CD266 is expressed on endothelial cells, as well as on some cancer tissues, and plays a role in CD255-induced endothelial cell migration, proliferation, and angiogenesis. The CD255-CD266 interaction, or antibody-mediated triggering of CD266 is also able to induce apoptosis and necrosis in CD266-positive cells (including tumor cells), which might have therapeutic potential. Protein function: Receptor for TNFSF12/TWEAK. Weak inducer of apoptosis in some cell types. Promotes angiogenesis and the proliferation of endothelial cells. May modulate cellular adhesion to matrix proteins. [The UniProt Consortium]
