  • 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.
  • Information by UniProt

could you please explain to me how much of water should add to the tube containing 20 micro gram of TNF alpha protein (code # ab9756 I just bought it) in order to make a 0.1 mg/ml of this product.

For lot 851145: Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in 200ul sterile water to a concentration of 0.1 mg/ml (or add 20ul for 1mg/ml). Do not vortex. This solution can be stored at 2-8oC for up to 1 week. For extended storage, it is ...

I have been using ab9756 as a standard for western blotting. I keep getting 2 bands, one at 17kD and a second at 25kD. Is this 25kD band TNF-beta?

I am terribly sorry about the delay replying to you regarding ab9756, I have had trouble contacting the source of this protein. I have just received confirmation that the protein gave only 1 band when tested in WB with the antibody ab9755. It is not li...

Ab9970 - Lyophilised from 5mM Tris, pH 7.2; how should it be reconstituted and with how much? Ab9756 - Lyophilized from 1x PBS; how should it be reconstituted and with how much?

Thank you very much for your patience, I have just heard back from the originator of these proteins. Ab9756: Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. This solution can then be diluted into other a...
