R&D Systems™ Quantikine Immunoassay Control Set 913 for Mouse HS TNF-a

Description

Immunoassay control set for Mouse Tumor Necrosis Factor protein

Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), also known as cachectin and TNFSF2, is prototypic ligand of TNF superfamily. It is pleiotropic molecule that plays central role in inflammation, apoptosis, and immune system development. TNF-α is produced by wide variety of immune and epithelial cell types. Human TNF-α consists of 35 amino acid (aa) cytoplasmic domain, a 21 aa transmembrane segment, and 177 aa extracellular domain (ECD). Within ECD, human TNF-α shares 97% aa sequence identity with rhesus and 71% to 92% with bovine, canine, cotton rat, equine, feline, mouse, porcine, and rat TNF-α. The 26 kDa type 2 transmembrane protein is assembled intracellularly to form noncovalently linked homotrimer. Ligation of this complex induces reverse signaling that promotes lymphocyte costimulation but diminishes monocyte responsiveness. Cleavage of membrane bound TNF-α by TACE/ADAM17 releases 55 kDa soluble trimeric form of TNF-α. TNF-α trimers bind ubiquitous TNF RI and hematopoietic cell-restricted TNF RII, both of which are also expressed as homotrimers. TNF-α regulates lymphoid tissue development through control of apoptosis. It also promotes inflammatory responses by inducing activation of vascular endothelial cells, macrophages. TNF-α is key cytokine in development of several inflammatory disorders. It contributes to development of type 2 diabetes through its effects on insulin resistance and fatty acid metabolism.
