背景介绍 TNF-β is a potent mediator of inflammatory and immune responses. It belongs to the TNF family of ligands and signals through TNFR1 and TNFR2. TNF-β is produced by activated T and B lymphocytes, and has similar activities to TNF-alpha. Like TNF-α, TNF-β is involved in the regulation of various biological processes including cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, lipid metabolism, coagulation, and neurotransmission. TNF-β is secreted as a soluble polypeptide, but can form heterotrimers with lymphotoxin-β, which effectively anchors the TNF- β to the cell surface. TNF-β is cytotoxic to a wide range of tumor cells. 产品介绍 Recombinant TNF-beta is a non disulfide-linked homotrimer protein, each consisting of 172 amino acids and migrates as an approximately 21 kDa protein under reducing conditions. Optimized DNA sequence encoding Human Tumor Necrosis Factor-beta chain was expressed in E. coli.
