Description
Description: TNFAIP8 Human Recombinant produced in E Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 221 amino acids (1-198a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 25kDa. TNFAIP8 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Introduction: TNFAIP8 which is a part of the TNFAIP8 family acts as a negative mediator of apoptosis and takes part in tumor progression. TNFAIP8 suppresses the TNF-mediated apoptosis by inhibiting caspase-8 activity but not the processing of procaspase-8, resulting in inhibition of BID cleavage and activation of caspase-3
