TNF Antibody is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody against TNF. TNF-α, the prototypical member of the TNF protein superfamily, is a homotrimeric type-II membrane proteinMembrane-bound TNF-α is cleaved by the metalloprotease TACE/ADAM17 to geneRate a soluble homotrimerBoth membrane and soluble forms of TNF-α are biologically activeTNF-α is produced by a variety of immune cells including T cells, B cells, NK cells, and macrophagesCellular response to TNF-α is mediated through interaction with receptors TNF-R1 and TNF-R2 and results in activation of pathways that favor both cell survival and apoptosis depending on the cell type and biological contextActivation of kinase pathways (including JNK, Erk (p44/42), p38 MAPK, and NF-κB) promotes the survival of cells, while TNF-α-mediated activation of caspase-8 leads to programmed cell deathTNF-α plays a key regulatory role in inflammation and host defense against bacterial infection, notably Mycobacterium tuberculosisThe role of TNF-α in autoimmunity is underscored by blocking TNF-α action to treat rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn’s diseaseThis protein is involved in Immunology.
