| Function: | Cytokine that binds to TNFRSF1A/TNFR1 and TNFRSF1B/TNFBR. It is mainly secreted by macrophages and can induce cell death of certain tumor cell lines. It is potent pyrogen causing fever by direct action or by stimulation of interleukin-1 secretion and is implicated in the induction of cachexia, Under certain conditions it can stimulate cell proliferation and induce cell differentiation. Impairs regulatory T- cells (Treg) function in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis via FOXP3 dephosphorylation. Upregulates the expression of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1), which dephosphorylates the key 'Ser-418' residue of FOXP3, thereby inactivating FOXP3 and rendering Treg cells functionally defective (PubMed:23396208). Key mediator of cell death in the anticancer action of BCG-stimulated neutrophils in combination with DIABLO/SMAC mimetic in the RT4v6 bladder cancer cell line (PubMed:22517918, PubMed:16829952, PubMed:23396208). Induces insulin resistance in adipocytes via inhibition of insulin-induced IRS1 tyrosine phosphorylation and insulin-induced glucose uptake. Induces GKAP42 protein degradation in adipocytes which is partially responsible for TNF-induced insulin resistance (By similarity). Plays a role in angiogenesis by inducing VEGF production synergistically with IL1B and IL6 (PubMed:12794819). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P06804, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12794819, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16829952, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22517918, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23396208}. | |
| Function: | The TNF intracellular domain (ICD) form induces IL12 production in dendritic cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16829952}. | |
| Subunit: | Homotrimer. Interacts with SPPL2B. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16829951}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16829952}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16829952}. | |
| Subcellular location: | [Tumor necrosis factor, membrane form]: Membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. | |
| Subcellular location: | [Tumor necrosis factor, soluble form]: Secreted. | |
| Subcellular location: | [C-domain 1]: Secreted. | |
| Subcellular location: | [C-domain 2]: Secreted. | |
| Ptm: | The soluble form derives from the membrane form by proteolytic processing. The membrane-bound form is further proteolytically processed by SPPL2A or SPPL2B through regulated intramembrane proteolysis producing TNF intracellular domains (ICD1 and ICD2) released in the cytosol and TNF C-domain 1 and C-domain 2 secreted into the extracellular space. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16829951, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16829952, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9034191}. | |
| Ptm: | The membrane form, but not the soluble form, is phosphorylated on serine residues. Dephosphorylation of the membrane form occurs by binding to soluble TNFRSF1A/TNFR1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10205166, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8597870}. | |
| Ptm: | O-glycosylated; glycans contain galactose, N-acetylgalactosamine and N-acetylneuraminic acid. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8631363}. | |
| Polymorphism: | Genetic variations in TNF influence susceptibility to hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection [MIM:610424]. | |
| Polymorphism: | Genetic variations in TNF are involved in susceptibility to malaria [MIM:611162]. | |
| Disease: | Psoriatic arthritis (PSORAS) [MIM:607507]: An inflammatory, seronegative arthritis associated with psoriasis. It is a heterogeneous disorder ranging from a mild, non-destructive disease to a severe, progressive, erosive arthropathy. Five types of psoriatic arthritis have been defined: asymmetrical oligoarthritis characterized by primary involvement of the small joints of the fingers or toes; asymmetrical arthritis which involves the joints of the extremities; symmetrical polyarthritis characterized by a rheumatoid like pattern that can involve hands, wrists, ankles, and feet; arthritis mutilans, which is a rare but deforming and destructive condition; arthritis of the sacroiliac joints and spine (psoriatic spondylitis). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12746914}. Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the tumor necrosis factor family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Sequence caution: | Sequence=AAF71992.1; Type=Frameshift; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; Sequence=CAA75070.1; Type=Erroneous gene model prediction; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; | |
