- Peptide corresponding to amino acids 807 to 823 of human TACE (1,2). This sequence differs from those of mouse and rat TACE by one amino acid (3). Tumor-necrosis factor-a is a proinflammatory cytokine and contributes to a variety of inflammatory disease responses and programmed cell death. TNF-a is synthesized as a 26K type II membrane-bound precursor that is cleaved by a convertase to generate secreted 17K mature TNF-a. TNF-a converting enzyme (TACE) protein was recently purified and the human and mouse TACE cDNAs were cloned by several groups separately (1-3). TACE is a membrane-bound metalloprotease-disintegrin in the family of mammalian ADAM (for a disintegrin and metalloprotease). TACE also processes other cell surface proteins, including TNF receptor, TGFa, the L-selectin adhesion molecule, and alpha-cleavage of amyloid protein precursor (APP) (4,5). TACE mRNA is expressed in a variety of human and murine tissues. TACE was selected as one of the few targets in cytokine activation by the Eighth International Conference of the Inflammation Research Association (6). Application: Used for blocking the activity of anti-TACE, catalog# T0500. Incubate the peptide with an equal volume of antibody for 30min. at 37°C usually completely blocks the activity of anti-TACE in Western Blotting.
