Recombinant Human Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor I/TNFRSF1A/CD120a (C-Fc)

Source: Human Cells. MW :47.2kD. Recombinant Human Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor I is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Leu30-Thr211 is expressed with a Fc tag at the C-terminus. Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 1A (TNFRSF1A) is a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily. TNFRSF1A is one of the major receptors for the tumor necrosis factor-alpha. It can activate the transcription factor NF-?B, mediate apoptosis, and function as a regulator of inflammation. Antiapoptotic protein BCL2-associated athanogene 4 (BAG4/SODD) and adaptor proteins TRADD and TRAF2 have been shown to interact with this receptor, and thus play regulatory roles in the signal transduction mediated by the receptor. Germline mutations of the extracellular domains of this receptor were found to be associated with the human genetic disorder called tumor necrosis factor associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS) or periodic fever syndrome. Protein function: Receptor for TNFSF2/TNF-alpha and homotrimeric TNFSF1/lymphotoxin-alpha. The adapter molecule FADD recruits caspase-8 to the activated receptor. The resulting death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) performs caspase-8 proteolytic activation which initiates the subsequent cascade of caspases (aspartate- specific cysteine proteases) mediating apoptosis. Contributes to the induction of non-cytocidal TNF effects including anti-viral state and activation of the acid sphingomyelinase. [The UniProt Consortium]
