Anti-TSG6

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. Tumor necrosis factor-inducible gene 6 protein, also known as TSG-6, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TNFAIP6 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a secretory protein that contains a hyaluronan-binding domain, and thus is a member of the hyaluronan-binding protein family. The hyaluronan-binding domain is known to be involved in extracellular matrix stability and cell migration. This protein has been shown to form a stable complex with inter-alpha-inhibitor (I alpha I), and thus enhance the serine protease inhibitory activity of I alpha I, which is important in the protease network associated with inflammation. This gene can be induced by proinflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin-1. Enhanced levels of this protein are found in the synovial fluid of patients with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Protein function: Possibly involved in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions during inflammation and tumorigenesis. [The UniProt Consortium]
