Description
Human Soluble TNF Receptor Type II Recombinant Protein Lyophilized has been recombinantly produced in E Coli.
TNFRII is a member of the TNFR family of transmembrane proteins, and is expressed in immune cells and certain endothelial cells. It is a high affinity receptor for TNF-alpha but manifests a lower affinity to TNF-beta. Signaling through this receptor regulates various biological processes including cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, lipid metabolism, coagulation, and neurotransmission. Soluble TNFRII is capable of inhibiting TNF-alpha induced activities by acting as a decoy receptor. Recombinant human sTNFRII is an 18.9 kDa protein (174 amino acid residues) comprising the cysteine rich ligand binding portion of the extracellular domain of the TNFRII protein
