| Description: | TNF-alpha/TNFSF2 protein, a cytokine, binds to TNFRSF1A/TNFR1 and TNFRSF1B/TNFBR, predominantly secreted by macrophages and exhibiting diverse biological functions. It possesses the capability to induce cell death in specific tumor cell lines, serving as a potent pyrogen that can cause fever through direct action or by stimulating interleukin-1 secretion, and is implicated in the induction of cachexia. Under certain conditions, TNF-alpha/TNFSF2 can play a role in both stimulating cell proliferation and inducing cell differentiation. It also contributes to insulin resistance in adipocytes by inhibiting insulin-induced IRS1 tyrosine phosphorylation and glucose uptake, with additional effects on GKAP42 protein degradation. Furthermore, TNF-alpha/TNFSF2 participates in angiogenesis by synergistically inducing VEGF production with IL1B and IL6, and promotes osteoclastogenesis, thereby mediating bone resorption. The intracellular domain (ICD) form of TNF-alpha induces IL12 production in dendritic cells, further highlighting its multifaceted impact on diverse cellular processes. Animal-Free TNF-alpha/TNFSF2 Protein, Pig (His) is the recombinant pig-derived animal-FreeTNF-alpha/TNFSF2 protein, expressed by E. coli, with C-His labeled tag. The total length of Animal-Free TNF-alpha/TNFSF2 Protein, Pig (His) is 156 a.a., with molecular weight of ~18.1 kDa. |
