Rabbit Anti-TNFC/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Lymphotoxin beta is a type II membrane protein of the TNF family. It anchors lymphotoxin-alpha to the cell surface through heterotrimer formation. The predominant form on the lymphocyte surface is the lymphotoxin-alpha 1/beta 2 complex and this complex is the primary ligand for the lymphotoxin-beta receptor. LTB is an inducer of the inflammatory response system and involved in normal development of lymphoid tissue. Lymphotoxin-beta isoform b is probably non-functional. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
Function:
Cytokine that binds to LTBR/TNFRSF3. May play a specific role in immune response regulation. Provides the membrane anchor for the attachment of the heterotrimeric complex to the cell surface. Isoform 2 is probably non-functional.
Subunit:
Heterotrimer of either two LTB and one LTA subunits or (less prevalent) one LTB and two LTA subunits.
Subcellular Location:
Membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein (Potential).
Tissue Specificity:
Spleen and thymus.
Similarity:
Belongs to the tumor necrosis factor family.
