TNFRII is a member of the TNFR family of transmembrane proteins, and is expressed in immune cells and certain endothelial cells. It is a high affinity receptor for TNF-alpha but manifests a lower affinity to TNF-beta. 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-alpha induced activities by acting as a decoy receptor. Recombinant human sTNFRII is an 18.9kD protein (174 amino acid residues) comprising the cysteine rich ligand binding portion of the extracellular domain of the TNFRII protein. Biological Activity: Determined by its inhibitory effect on the TNF-alpha mediated cytotoxicity in murine L-929 cells. The ED50 for this effect in the presence of 0.25ng/ml of recombinant human TNF-alpha is 0.125ug/ml.
