Product Description

TNF-β works as a potential mediator in the inflammatory and immune process. It a component of the TNF family of ligands, and signals through TNFR1 and TNFR2. TNF-β is secreted by activated T and B lymphocytes, and has similar function to TNF-α. In the same manner as TNF-α, TNF-β is involved in the regulation of various biological processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, lipid metabolism, coagulation, and neurotransmission. TNF-β is generally released as a soluble polypeptide. In addition, lymphotoxin-β can anchor TNF-β to the cell surface and form heterotrimers in an effective manner. TNF-β is cytotoxic to a wide range of tumor cells.

Source:
Escherichia coli

Endotoxin Test:
<0.1 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method. Activity:
Measure by its ability to induce cytotoxicity in L929 cells in the presence of actinomycin D. The ED₅₀ for this effect is <30 ng/mL. Purity:
>98% as determined by SDS-PAGE. Ni-NTA chromatography

Formulation:
The protein was lyophilized from a solution containing 1X PBS, pH 8.0.

Reconstitution:
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile H₂O to a concentration not less than 100 μg/mL and incubate the stock solution for at least 20 min to ensure sufficient re-dissolved.

Storage:
Lyophilized protein should be stored at -20°C. Upon reconstitution, protein aliquots should be stored at -20°C or -80°C.

Note:
Please use within one month after protein reconstitution.
