Tnfsf12 (human) recombinant protein 25 µg

The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) ligand family. This protein is a ligand for the FN14/TWEAKR receptor. This cytokine has overlapping signaling functions with TNF, but displays a much wider tissue distribution. This cytokine can induce apoptosis via multiple pathways of cell death in a cell type-specific manner. This cytokine is also found to promote proliferation and migration of endothelial cells, and thus acts as a regulator of angiogenesis. Some transcripts that skip the last exon of this gene and continue with the second exon of the neighboring TNFSF13 gene have been identified; such read-through transcripts are contained in GeneID 407977, TNFSF12-TNFSF13.
