The peptide is used for blocking the activity of anti-TACE (GTX22051).Incubating the peptide with equal volume of antibody for 30 min at 37C usually completely blocksthe activity of anti-TACE in Western blotting.

TNF alpha is a pro-inflammatory cytokine and contributes to a variety of inflammatory disease responses and programmed cell death. It is synthesized as a 26K type II membrane-bound precursor that is cleaved by aconvertase to generate secreted 17K mature TNF alpha. TNF alpha converting enzyme (TACE) protein was recently purified and the human and mouse TACE cDNAs were cloned by several groups separately. 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, TGF alpha, the L-selectin adhesion molecule, and alpha-cleavage of amyloid protein precursor (APP). 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.
