Background | CD40LG protein is expressed on all B lymphocytes during various stages of development, activated T cells and monocytes, follicular dendritic cells, thymic epithelial cells, and various carcinoma cell lines. It is expressed on most mature B cell malignancies and on some early B cell acute lymphocytic leukemias. Human CD40LG has been found to be the receptor for a protein involved in an X-linked immunodeficiency syndrome. Based on its homology with other members of the TNF ligand protein superfamily, CD40LG is also referred to also as TNFSF5. The soluble form of CD40LG is generated by the intracellular proteolytic processing of the full length CD40LG. Recombinant Human CD40LG is a 17 kDa protein that represents the soluble segment of full length CD40LG and encompasses the receptor binding TNF-like domain. |

Target Details
Target Function | Cytokine that acts as a ligand to CD40/TNFRSF5. Costimulates T-cell proliferation and cytokine production. Its cross-linking on T-cells generates a costimulatory signal which enhances the production of IL4 and IL10 in conjunction with the TCR/CD3 ligation and CD28 costimulation. Induces the activation of NF-kappa-B. Induces the activation of kinases MAPK8 and PAK2 in T-cells. Induces tyrosine phosphorylation of isoform 3 of CD28. Mediates B-cell proliferation in the absence of co-stimulus as well as IgE production in the presence of IL4. Involved in immunoglobulin class switching.; Acts as a ligand for integrins, specifically ITGA5:ITGB1 and ITGAV:ITGB3; both integrins and the CD40 receptor are required for activation of CD40-CD40LG signaling, which have cell-type dependent effects, such as B-cell activation, NF-kappa-B signaling and anti-apoptotic signaling. |
