Descriptor citocina TWEAK
Entry term(s) inductor débil de apoptosis relacionado con TNF
ligando de apo-3
miembro 12 de la superfamilia del ligando del factor de necrosis tumoral
Scope note: Glucoproteína de membrana proteolíticamente escindida y miembro de la superfamilia TNF que se expresa ampliamente en diversos tejidos como el corazón, páncreas, cerebro y los linfocitos de la sangre. La forma segregada extracelular es un débil inductor de la APOPTOSIS para algunos tipos celulares y un ligando del RECEPTOR NF14. Media en la activación del FN-KAPPA-B y promueve la ANGIOGÉNESIS y proliferación de las CÉLULAS ENDOTELIALES, así como la expresión de CITOCINAS implicadas en la INFLAMACIÓN.

Scope note: A proteolytically-cleaved membrane glycoprotein and member of the TNF superfamily that is highly expressed in a variety of tissues including heart, pancreas, brain, and peripheral blood lymphocytes. The secreted extracellular form is a weak inducer of APOPTOSIS for some cell types and a ligand for the FN14 RECEPTOR. It mediates activation of NF-KAPPA-B and promotes ANGIOGENESIS and proliferation of ENDOTHELIAL CELLS, as well as expression of cytokines involved in INFLAMMATION.
