Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha Factor

**Semantic type:** Amino Acid, Peptide, or Protein

**Definition:** Lipopolysaccharide-induced tumor necrosis factor-alpha factor (161 aa, ~17 kDa) is encoded by the human LITAF gene. This protein is involved in the recruitment of certain ESCRT (endosomal sorting complex required for transport) components to the cell membrane and the regulation of cytokine gene expression.
