  • Function

    Cytokine that binds to TNFRSF1A/TNFR1 and TNFRSF1B/TNFBR. It is mainly secreted by macrophages and can induce cell death of certain tumor cell lines. It is potent pyrogen causing fever by direct action or by stimulation of interleukin-1 secretion and is implicated in the induction of cachexia, Under certain conditions it can stimulate cell proliferation and induce cell differentiation.
  • Involvement in disease

    Genetic variations in TNF are a cause of susceptibility psoriatic arthritis (PSORAS) [MIM:607507]. PSORAS is an inflammatory, seronegative arthritis associated with psoriasis. It is a heterogeneous disorder ranging from a mild, non-destructive disease to a severe, progressive, erosive arthropathy. Five types of psoriatic arthritis have been defined: asymmetrical oligoarthritis characterized by primary involvement of the small joints of the fingers or toes; asymmetrical arthritis which involves the joints of the extremities; symmetrical polyarthritis characterized by a rheumatoidlike pattern that can involve hands, wrists, ankles, and feet; arthritis mutilans, which is a rare but deforming and destructive condition; arthritis of the sacroiliac joints and spine (psoriatic spondylitis).
  • Sequence similarities

    Belongs to the tumor necrosis factor family.
  • Post-translational
    modifications

    The soluble form derives from the membrane form by proteolytic processing.
    The membrane form, but not the soluble form, is phosphorylated on serine residues. Dephosphorylation of the membrane form occurs by binding to soluble TNFRSF1A/TNFR1.
    O-glycosylated; glycans contain galactose, N-acetylgalactosamine and N-acetylneuraminic acid.
  • Cellular localization

    Secreted and Cell membrane.
  • Target information above from: UniProt accession P01375 The UniProt Consortium

    Chromatin was prepared from HeLa (human epithelial cell line from cervix adenocarcinoma) cells treated with and without 20 ng/ml TNF-α (ab9642) for 60 minutes according to the Abcam X-ChIP protocol. Cells were fixed with formaldehyde for 10 minutes. The ChIP was performed with 25 μg of chromatin, 5 μg of ab218533 (red), and 20 µl of Protein A/G sepharose beads. 5 μg of rabbit normal IgG was added to the beads control (gray). The immunoprecipitated DNA was quantified by real time PCR (SYBR green approach).

    The ChIP data are consistent with the literature (PMID: 16135789).

Asked on Feb 21 2013

Answer


The lab let me know that they do not test the half-life/stability of ab9642 at 37oC. However, they have found that in their assay on 929 cells, they incubate this product in culture for approximately 21 hours. It is incubated in assay media containing 2ug/ml of Actinomycin D.

I would thus suggest to test if the protein is still stable after 96 hours, but to be on the safe side a 24 h incubation might be best.

Asked on Sep 16 2004

Answer

Thank you for your enquiry. As I mentioned earlier, these proteins were originated from two different sources outside Abcam. Regarding the specific activity and purity for these antibodies: Ab7420 - Specific activity: 2.34 x 10 to the 6 Units/mg protein. 99% purity. Ab9642 - Specific activity: > 2 x 10 to the 7 units/mg. Greater than 98% pure. Either one should work for you, please take a look again at the online datasheets - all the information that we have is accessible to you. If you have any further questions, please do let me know.
