Belongs to the tumor necrosis factor family.
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. 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. Plays a role in angiogenesis by inducing VEGF production synergistically with IL1B and IL6.
O-glycosylated; glycans contain galactose, N-acetylgalactosamine and N-acetylneuraminic acid.
The TNF intracellular domain (ICD) form induces IL12 production in dendritic cells.
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.
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.
Belongs to the nuclear transition protein 2 family.
Belongs to the glycoprotein hormones subunit beta family.
Belongs to the pancreatic ribonuclease family.
Acetylation at Lys-70 may increase chaperone activity.
Belongs to the small heat shock protein (HSP20) family.
Contributes to the transparency and refractive index of the lens. Acts as a chaperone, preventing aggregation of various proteins under a wide range of stress conditions. Required for the correct formation of lens intermediate filaments as part of a complex composed of BFSP1, BFSP2 and CRYAA.
Heteromer composed of three CRYAA and one CRYAB subunits. Inter-subunit bridging via zinc ions enhances stability, which is crucial as there is no protein turn over in the lens. Can also form homodimers and homotetramers (dimers of dimers) which serve as the building blocks of homooligomers (By similarity). Within homooligomers, the zinc-binding motif is created from residues of 3 different molecules. His-100 and Glu-102 from one molecule are ligands of the zinc ion, and His-107 and His-154 residues from additional molecules complete the site with tetrahedral coordination geometry (By similarity). Part of a complex required for lens intermediate filament formation composed of BFSP1, BFSP2 and CRYAA (By similarity).
Undergoes age-dependent proteolytical cleavage at the C-terminus.
Belongs to the xanthine dehydrogenase family.
Binds 1 Mo-molybdopterin (Mo-MPT) cofactor per subunit.
Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 22 family.
