Tumor Necrosis Factor Ligands

Post by Cindyrendy »

Tumor necrosis factor ligands (TNF) family named by the first identified members TNFα and TNFβ is consisting of 19 ligands on the basis of sequence, functional, and structural similarities. All TNF ligands cytokines seem to form homotrimeric with exception of heterotrimeric by Lymphotoxin-alpha/beta (LTα/β).

Any more information or explanation about it?

Welcome. What would you like to know specifically?

Otherwise, the OTNOT posters should feel flattered by the quality of the spam posted here.
