| - | '''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>.  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]]).    | + | '''Tumor necrosis factor''' (TNF) is a cytokine which can cause apoptosis.
