  2. TNF-a
  3. TNF-alpha
  4. Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 2
  5. Tumor necrosis factor, membrane form
  6. Tumor necrosis factor, soluble form
Gene Name TNF
Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in tumor necrosis factor receptor binding
Specific 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
