Product Overview
Tag | N/A |
Host Species | Human |
Accession | Q9UNG2 |
Synonym | Activation-inducible TNF-related ligand, AITRL, Glucocorticoid-induced TNF-related ligand, GITRL, hGITRL, Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 18, TNFSF18, TL-6, Recombinant Human Activation-Induced TNFR Member Ligand (TNFSF18). |
Background | TNFSF18 is a transmembrane glycoprotein which is expressed in vascular endothelial cells as well as neurons, antigen presenting cells, CD4-- CD8- double negative thymic precursors, and in the eye. TNFSF18 works to mediate the interactions between T cells and endothelial cells, and T cell growth. It has been shown that TNFSF18's expression is transiently up-regulated by proinflammatory stimulation. |

Target Details
Target 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. Triggers increased phosphorylation of STAT1 and up-regulates expression of VCAM1 and ICAM1. Promotes leukocyte adhesion to endothelial cells. Regulates migration of monocytes from the splenic reservoir to sites of inflammation. |
Subcellular Location | Cell membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. |
Protein Families | Tumor necrosis factor family |
