Recombinant Human GITRL protein (His tag)

Product Specifications

Background

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.
