TNF-alpha/TNFSF2 Protein, Equine

Cat. No.: HY-P79099
COA Handling Instructions

TNF-alpha/TNFSF2 protein binds to TNFRSF1A/TNFR1 and TNFRSF1B/TNFBR. It induces tumor cell death, fever, cachexia, cell proliferation, and cell differentiation. It also causes insulin resistance and GKAP42 protein degradation in adipocytes. Additionally, it plays a role in angiogenesis, osteoclastogenesis, and IL12 production in dendritic cells. TNF-alpha/TNFSF2 Protein, Equine is the recombinant equine-derived TNF-alpha/TNFSF2 protein, expressed by E. coli , with tag free. The total length of TNF-alpha/TNFSF2 Protein, Equine is 157 a.a., with molecular weight of ~19.36 kDa.

Background

TNF-alpha/TNFSF2 protein, a cytokine, binds to TNFRSF1A/TNFR1 and TNFRSF1B/TNFBR, predominantly secreted by macrophages and exhibiting diverse biological functions. It possesses the capability to induce cell death in specific tumor cell lines, serving as a potent pyrogen that can cause fever through direct action or by stimulating interleukin-1 secretion, and is implicated in the induction of cachexia. Under certain conditions, TNF-alpha/TNFSF2 can play a role in both stimulating cell proliferation and inducing cell differentiation. It also contributes to insulin resistance in adipocytes by inhibiting insulin-induced IRS1 tyrosine phosphorylation and glucose uptake, with additional effects on GKAP42 protein degradation. Furthermore, TNF-alpha/TNFSF2 participates in angiogenesis by synergistically inducing VEGF production with IL1B and IL6, and promotes osteoclastogenesis, thereby mediating bone resorption. The intracellular domain (ICD) form of TNF-alpha induces IL12 production in dendritic cells, further highlighting its multifaceted impact on diverse cellular processes.

Appearance

Lyophilized powder.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of 20 mM PB, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.4.

Endotoxin Level

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 25 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Shipping

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.

The reconstitution calculator equation

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration
= ÷

The dilution calculator equation

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)

This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)

The specific activity calculator equation

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)
Unit/mg = 106 ÷ ng/mL
