Anti-Human TMEFF1 Polyclonal Antibody

Tomoregulin-1 (TMEFF1) is a ~40 kDa protein. Neuron-specific restriction factor that prevents herpes simplex virus 1 (HHV-1) infection in the brain by blocking viral entry. Also able to restrict herpes simplex virus 2 (HHV-2) infection, although to a lesser extent. Acts by preventing the association between the viral glycoprotein D (gD) and its cell surface receptor NECTIN1, thereby inhibiting fusion of the virus and the cell membrane. Also able to prevent the association between the viral glycoprotein B (gB) and MYH9/NMMHC-IIA and MYH10/NMMHC-IIB receptors. May be a tumor suppressor in brain cancers.
