Biochem/physiol Actions

TNFRII is a member of the TNFR superfamily of transmembrane proteins, and is expressed in immune cells and certain endothelial cells. Recombinant human sTNFRII is an 18.9 kDa protein (174 amino acid residues) comprising the cysteine rich ligand binding portion of the extracellular domain of the TNFRII protein.

General description

TNFRII is a member of the TNFR superfamily of transmembrane proteins, and is expressed in immune cells and certain endothelial cells. It is a high affinity receptor for TNF-a but manifests a lower affinity to TNF-b. Signaling through this receptor regulates various biological processes including cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, lipid metabolism, coagulation, and neurotransmission. Soluble TNFRII is capable of inhibiting TNF-a induced activities by acting as a decoy receptor. Recombinant human sTNFRII is an 18.9 kDa protein (174 amino acid residues) comprising the cysteine rich ligand binding portion of the extracellular domain of the TNFRII protein.

Physical form

Lyophilized from 10 mM Sodium Phosphate, pH 8.0 + 50 mM NaCl.

Reconstitution

Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. Do not vortex. This solution can be stored at 2-8°C for up to 1 week. For extended storage, it is recommended to further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein (example 0.1% BSA) and store in working aliquots at -20°C to -80°C.
