Rabbit anti-Human TNFAIP8 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

O95379

Target Species

Human

Target Name

TNFAIP8

Target Full Name

Tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced protein 8

Target Function

Acts as a negative mediator of apoptosis and may play a role in tumor progression. Suppresses the TNF-mediated apoptosis by inhibiting caspase-8 activity but not the processing of procaspase-8, subsequently resulting in inhibition of BID cleavage and caspase-3 activation.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm.

Target Protein Families

TNFAIP8 family

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed at high levels in the spleen, lymph node, thymus, thyroid, bone marrow and placenta. Expressed at high levels both in various tumor tissues, unstimulated and cytokine-activated cultured cells. Expressed at low levels in the spinal cord, ovary, l

Target Research Area
