TNF alpha Protein, Rabbit, Recombinant

Description: Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) is the prototypic ligand of the TNF superfamily. TNFalpha forms a homotrimer and functions by activating two types of receptors TNF-R1 (TNF receptor type 1,p55R) and TNF-R2 (TNF receptor type 2,p75R). TNFalpha is a pleiotropic cytokine that is capable to promote inflammation, to induce apoptotic cell death, and to inhibit tumorigenesis and viral replication. TNFalpha is a potent lymphoid factor that exerts cytotoxic effects on a wide range of tumor cells and certain other target cells.
