'''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. TNF is a transmembrane homotrimer. The soluble TNF is produced by cleavage by the metalloprotease TNF alpha converting enzyme (TACE or ADAM17 see [[A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase]]). | '''Tumor necrosis factor''' (TNF) is a cytokine which can cause apoptosis.
