TNFSF12

Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 12

TNFSF12 ;
APO3L ;
DR3LG ;
Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 12 ;
APO3 ligand ;
TNF-related weak inducer of apoptosis ;
TWEAK

function:Binds to FN14 and possibly also to TNRFSF12/APO3. Weak inducer of apoptosis in some cell types. Mediates NF-kappa-B activation. Promotes angiogenesis and the proliferation of endothelial cells. Also involved in induction of inflammatory cytokines.,function:Cytokine that binds to TNFRSF13B/TACI and to TNFRSF17/BCMA. May be implicated in the regulation of tumor cell growth. May be involved in monocyte/macrophage-mediated immunological processes.,induction:Down-regulated by phorbol myristate acetate/ionomycin treatment.,PTM:The precursor is cleaved by furin.,PTM:The soluble form derives from the membrane form by proteolytic processing.,similarity:Belongs to the tumor necrosis factor family.,subunit:Homotrimer (Potential). Interacts with the angiogenic factor AGGF1/VG5Q.,subunit:Homotrimer .,tissue specificity:Expressed at high levels in transformed cell lines, cancers of colon, thyroid, lymphoid tissues and specifically expressed in monocytes and macrophages.,tissue specificity:Highly expressed in adult heart, pancreas, skeletal muscle, brain, colon, small intestine, lung, ovary, prostate, spleen, lymph node, appendix and peripheral blood lymphocytes. Low expression in kidney, testis, liver, placenta, thymus and bone marrow. Also detected in fetal kidney, liver, lung and brain.,
