Human CD70 mRNA

Human CD70 mRNA encodes the human CD70 molecule (CD70) protein, a cytokine that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) ligand family. CD70 induces proliferation of costimulated T cells, enhances the generation of cytolytic T cells, and contributes to T cell activation. It is also reported to play a role in regulating B-cell activation, cytotoxic function of natural killer cells, and immunoglobulin sythesis.
