Recombinant Human GITR Ligand/TNFSF18 Protein (Fc Tag)
Product Specifications
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 thoμght to be important for interaction between T lymphocytes and endothelial cells.
