Gene Summary This gene encodes a multifunctional proinflammatory cytokine that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily. This cytokine is mainly secreted by macrophages. It can bind to, and thus functions through its receptors TNFRSF1A/TNFR1 and TNFRSF1B/TNFBR. This cytokine is involved in the regulation of a wide spectrum of biological processes including cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, lipid metabolism, and coagulation.

Cell Type Expression Patterns Highest expressing cell types:
  • Granulocytes (immune cells)
  • Monocytes (immune cells)
  • Leukocytes (immune cells)
  • Bone marrow cells Expression pattern: TNF shows highest expression in immune cells, particularly myeloid lineage cells (granulocytes, monocytes), consistent with its role as a proinflammatory cytokine primarily secreted by macrophages. Single-Cell Expression Data
