Anti-AF/LE Purified Anti-Mouse CD120b, clone TR75-54.7

CD120b is a 75 kD type I transmembrane protein, also known as Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Type II (TNFRII) or p75. It is expressed on a variety of cells at low levels, the expression is upregulated upon activation. This receptor binds both TNF-alpha and LT-alpha (also known as TNF-beta). In association with TRAF1 and TRAF2, the receptor crosslinking induced by TNF-alpha or LT-alpha trimers is critical for signal transduction, leading to apoptosis, NF-kB activation, increased expression of proinflammatory genes, tumor necrosis, and cell differentiation depending on cell type and differentiation state. Protein function: Receptor with high affinity for TNFSF2/TNF-alpha and approximately 5-fold lower affinity for homotrimeric TNFSF1/lymphotoxin-alpha. The TRAF1/TRAF2 complex recruits the apoptotic suppressors BIRC2 and BIRC3 to TNFRSF1B/TNFR2. [The UniProt Consortium]
