Target Synonym: Cachectin;TNF-alpha;Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 2;TNF-a;N-terminal fragment;NTF;ICD1;ICD2
Target Species: Rat
Expression Host: E.coli
Fusion Tag: N-His
UNIProt ID: P16599
Background: Cytokine that binds to TNFRSF1A/TNFR1 and TNFRSF1B/TNFBR. It is mainly secreted by macrophages and can induce cell death of certain tumor cell lines. It is potent pyrogen causing fever by direct action or by stimulation of interleukin-1 secretion and is implicated in the induction of cachexia, Under certain conditions it can stimulate cell proliferation and induce cell differentiation.Induces insulin resistance in adipocytes via inhibition of insulin-induced IRS1 tyrosine phosphorylation and insulin-induced glucose uptake. Induces GKAP42 protein degradation in adipocytes which is partially responsible for TNF-induced insulin resistance.Plays a role in angiogenesis by inducing VEGF production synergistically with IL1B and IL6.
Sequence: Gly57-Leu235
Purity: > 85 % as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.
