Description: Tumor Necrosis Factor or TNF alpha is a cytokine, a cell signalling protein which acts as a central regulator of inflammation. The majority of TNF alpha is produced by macrophages but a wide variety of other cell types can also produce it. TNF alpha exists as a transmembrane protein arranged in stable homotrimers. A soluble form of TNF alpha can be produced by proteolytic cleavage of the membrane bound form. Both forms are biologically active although the specific function of each is controversial.
