Rabbit Anti-TNFSF18/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) ligand family. This cytokine is a ligand for receptor TNFRSF18/AITR/GITR. It has been shown to modulate T lymphocyte survival in peripheral tissues. This cytokine is also found to be expressed in endothelial cells, and is thought to be important for interaction between T lymphocytes and endothelial cells. [provided by RefSeq].
Function:
Cytokine that binds to TNFRSF18/AITR/GITR. Regulates T-cell responses. Can function as costimulator and lower the threshold for T-cell activation and T-cell proliferation. Important for interactions between activated T-lymphocytes and endothelial cells. Mediates activation of NF-kappa-B.
Subunit:
Homodimer. Homotrimer.
Subcellular Location:
Cell membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein.
Tissue Specificity:
Expressed at high levels in the small intestine, ovary, testis, kidney and endothelial cells.
Similarity:
Belongs to the tumor necrosis factor family.
