  2. Tumor necrosis factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumor_necrosis_factor

    Tumor necrosis factor (TNF), formerly known as TNF-α, is a chemical messenger produced by the immune system that induces inflammation. [5] TNF is produced primarily by activated macrophages , and induces inflammation by binding to its receptors on other cells. [ 6 ]

  3. Lymphotoxin alpha - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymphotoxin_alpha

    Lymphotoxin alpha, a member of the tumor necrosis factor superfamily, is a cytokine produced by lymphocytes. LT-α 1-β 2 can interact with receptors such as LT-β receptors. [12] Absence of LT-β on cell surfaces will diminish the ability of LT-α to form LT-α 1-β 2, thus decreasing its effective ability as a cytokine.

  4. Tumor necrosis factor superfamily - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumor_necrosis_factor...

    The tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily is a protein superfamily of type II transmembrane proteins containing TNF homology domain and forming trimers. Members of this superfamily can be released from the cell membrane by extracellular proteolytic cleavage and function as a cytokine .

  5. Lymphotoxin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymphotoxin

    Lymphotoxin is a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily of cytokines, whose members are responsible for regulating the growth and function of lymphocytes and are expressed by a wide variety of cells in the body. [1]

  6. TNF receptor superfamily - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNF_receptor_superfamily

    The tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily (TNFRSF) is a protein superfamily of cytokine receptors characterized by the ability to bind tumor necrosis factors (TNFs) via an extracellular cysteine-rich domain. [2] [3] With the exception of nerve growth factor (NGF), all TNFs are homologous to the archetypal TNF-alpha. [4]

  7. Inflammatory cytokine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflammatory_cytokine

    They include interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL-6, IL-12, and IL-18, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interferon gamma (IFNγ), and granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and play an important role in mediating the innate immune response. Inflammatory cytokines are predominantly produced by and involved in the upregulation of ...

  8. ADAM17 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADAM17

    ADAM17 is understood to be involved in the processing of tumor necrosis factor alpha at the surface of the cell, and from within the intracellular membranes of the trans-Golgi network. This process, which is also known as 'shedding', involves the cleavage and release of a soluble ectodomain from membrane-bound pro-proteins (such as pro-TNF-α ...

  9. TNFAIP3 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNFAIP3

    Tumor necrosis factor, alpha-induced protein 3 or A20 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TNFAIP3 gene. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] This gene was identified as a gene whose expression is rapidly induced by the tumor necrosis factor (TNF).
