Comment: TWEAK protein (TNFSF12) is a tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family cytokine that exists in both membrane-bound and secreted forms. It acts via interaction with the TWEAK receptor (encoded by the TNFRSF12A gene), and is a modulator of endothelial cell proliferation and migration, and is therefore an angiogenesis regulator.
Species: Human
