Recombinant Human Tumor Necrosis Factor beta/TNFkBeta

Source: E.coli. MW :18.8kD. Recombinant Human Tumor Necrosis Factor beta is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding Leu35-Leu205 is expressed. Tumor Necrosis Factor beta (TNF- beta) is a secreted protein belonging to the tumor necrosis factor family. TNF- beta binds to TNFRSF1A/TNFR1, TNFRSF1B/TNFBR and TNFRSF14/HVEM in homotrimeric form, binds to TNFRSF3/LTBR in heterotrimeric form with LTB. TNF- beta forms heterotrimers with lymphotoxin-beta, which anchors TNF- beta to the cell surface. TNF- beta mediates the inflammatory, immunostimulatory, and antiviral response, involves in the formation of second lymphoid organs during development, has a role in apoptosis. TNF- beta is produced by lymphocytes and cytotoxic for a variety of tumor cells in vitro and in vivo. Protein function: Cytokine that in its homotrimeric form binds to TNFRSF1A/TNFR1, TNFRSF1B/TNFBR and TNFRSF14/HVEM. In its heterotrimeric form with LTB binds to TNFRSF3/LTBR. Lymphotoxin is produced by lymphocytes and cytotoxic for a wide range of tumor cells in vitro and in vivo. [The UniProt Consortium]
