Description : Rat tumor Necrosis Factor-? (TNF-?) is a potent cytokine expressed as a transmembrane protein with 235 aa that is cleaved to the soluble monomer by TNF-? converting enzyme (TACE) and forms stable homotrimers. TNF-? is expressed in many cells and plays an important role in inflammation, viral replication, tumorigenesis, apoptosis, cell proliferation, differentiation, coagulation and lipid metabolism. TNF-? is mainly produced by macrophages when challenged with viruses or bacteria. TNF-? is cytotoxic for many tumor cells lines but induced activation, differentiation or proliferation in normal cells.
