Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), also known as TNF, TNFA or TNFSF2, is the prototypic cytokine of the TNF superfamily, and is a multifunctional molecule involved in the regulation of a wide spectrum of biological processes including cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, lipid metabolism, and coagulation. Two receptors, TNF-R1 (TNF receptor type 1; CD120a; p55/60) and TNF-R2 (TNF receptor type 2; CD120b; p75/80), bind to TNF-alpha. TNF-alpha protein is produced mainly by macrophages, and large amounts of this cytokine are released in response to lipopolysaccharide, other bacterial products, and Interleukin-1 (IL-1). TNF-alpha is involved in fighting against the tumorigenesis, thus, is regarded as a molecular insight in cancer treatment.

Active protein

Activity

Measured in a cytotoxicity assay using L929 mouse fibrosarcoma cells in the presence of metabolic inhibitor actinomycin D. The ED50 for this effect is typically 20-80 pg/ml.

Protein Construction

A DNA sequence encoding the mature form of rat TNFα (P16599) (Leu 80-Leu 235) was expressed and purified, with an initial Met at the N-terminus.
