| + | '''Tumor necrosis factor''' (TNF) is a cytokine which can cause apoptosis. '''TNFα''' is implicated in tumor regression, septic shock, inflammation and cachexia (wasting syndrome). It is involved in the regulation of the immune cells<ref>PMID:11514191</ref>. '''TNFβ''' is inhibited by interleukin 10. TNF is a transmembrane homotrimer. The soluble TNF is produced by cleavage by the metalloprotease TNFα-converting enzyme (TACE or ADAM17 see [[A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase]]). See also [[TRAIL]] and [[Molecular Playground/TRAIL]]. | ||
