TWEAK/TNFSF12, Human (CHO) - HY-P7309

TWEAK Protein refers to the cytokine tumor necrosis factor-like weak inducer of apoptosis, belongs to tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily. TWEAK protein binds to FN14 and TNRFSF12/APO3, is a weak inducer of apoptosis[1]. TWEAK does have pro-apoptotic activity for tumor cell, mediates NF-kappa-B activation, promotes angiogenesis and the proliferation of endothelial cells (ECs)[2]. TWEAK also increases IL-6 and IL-8 secretion, and could potentiate the pro-inflammatory activities of TNF and IL-1[3]. Human TWEAK protein is a type II transmembrane protein (M1-H249) with a transmembrane domain (22-42 a.a.). TWEAK/TNFSF12 Protein, Human (CHO) is the extracellular part (R99-H249) of TWEAK protein, produced by CHO cells with tag free.
