Background

TNF, as also known as TNF-alpha, or cachectin, is a multifunctional proinflammatory cytokine that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily. It is expressed as a 26 kDa membrane-bound protein and free soluble 17 kDa monomer, which forms homotrimers in circulation. It is produced mostly by activated macrophages, CD4+ lymphocytes, NK cells, neutrophils, eosinophils, and neurons. This cytokine is involved in the regulation of a wide spectrum of biological processes including cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, lipid metabolism, and coagulation (PMID: 20194223).
