Entrez ID 8742
Gene name TNF superfamily member 12
Gene symbol TNFSF12
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
APO3LDR3LGTNF12TNLG4ATWEAK
Chromosome 17
Chromosome location 17p13.1
Summary The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) ligand family. This protein is a ligand for the FN14/TWEAKR receptor. This cytokine has overlapping signaling functions with TNF, but displays a much wider tiss

Protein name Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 12 (APO3 ligand) (TNF-related weak inducer of apoptosis) (TWEAK) [Cleaved into: Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 12, membrane form; Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 12, secreted
Protein function Binds to FN14 and possibly also to TNRFSF12/APO3. Weak inducer of apoptosis in some cell types. Mediates NF-kappa-B activation. Promotes angiogenesis and the proliferation of endothelial cells. Also involved in induction of inflammatory cytokine
