T9162-73B	Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor 2, Recombinant, Human (TNFR2, CD120b)	20ug

Growth Factors, Cytokines

Storage: -20°CShipping: Blue Ice

CD120b, otherwise known as sTNF receptor type II (sTNFR1I), is a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily, produced by proteolytic cleavage of the membrane form by the metalloprotease TACE. CD120b plays a key role in regulating the inflammatory response, acting as a receptor for both tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and TNF-beta, and is also involved in programmed cell death and anti-viral activity. sTNFR1I acts as an inhibitor of TNF-alpha induced responses, by acting as a decoy receptor.
