TWEAK (TNF-related weak inducer of apoptosis) is a member of the tumor necrosis factor superfamily (TNFSF12). TWAEK/TNFSF12 is a single-pass type II transmebrane glycoprotein consisting of a 21 amino acid (aa) cytoplasmic domain, a transmembrane domain and a 207 aa extracellular domain (ECD). TWAEK/TNFSF12 may be released into the extracellular fluid, probably by cleavage form the cell surface. TWAEK/TNFSF12 is a ligand for the FN14/TWEAKR receptor. TWAEK/TNFSF12 has overlapping signaling functions with TNF, but displays a much wider tissue distribution. TWAEK/TNFSF12, which exists in both membrane-bound and secreted forms, can induce apoptosis via multiple pathways of cell death in a cell type-specific manner. TWAEK/TNFSF12 is also found to promote proliferation and migration of endothelial cells, and thus acts as a regulator of angiogenesis.

Product Details

 

Gene Symbol: TNFSF12; TWEAK; APO3L; DR3LG;TNLG4A

  

NCBI Gene ID: 8742

 

Uniprot Entry: O43508

 

Construct Details: Full length human TWEAK/TNFSF12 gene is subcloned into the Lentiviral expression vector pLTC with an upstream CMV promoter -/+ an antibiotic selection marker, which can be used for both transient and stable expression in mammalian cells.  It can be co-transfected with the LentiPAK DNA mix (SKU# LP-001) into HEK293 cells to produce high titer lentiviral particles.

 

Vector Type: pLTC or pLTC-Marker (lentiviral expression vector containing a heterologous CMV promoter -/+ a selection marker, see the vector map above)

 

Formulation: Supplied with 10 μg of endotoxin-free plasmid DNA at 200 ng/μl in sterile TE buffer (pH8.0)

Primers: Gene insert coding sequence can be confirmed by following primers:

(a) forward (or 5'-end) primer: 5’-CAAATGGGCGGTAGGCGTG-3’

(b) reverse (or 3'-end) primer: 5’-CCAGGTTTCCGGGCCCTCAC-3’

 

 

Note: The sequence may vary due to the naturally occurring variants or mutations, such as single nucleotide polymorphism, or the artifact during PCR amplification.  High fidelity PCR systems should always be used.
