Anti-LTBR Antibody Picoband® Fluoro550 Conjugated

LTBR (Lymphotoxin B Receptor), also called TNFCR or LT-BETA-R, is a receptor for lymphotoxin which in humans is encoded by the LTBR gene. By linkage analysis with recombinant inbred mouse strains, Nakamura et al. (1995) demonstrated that the Tnfcr locus is close to the Tnfr1 gene on mouse chromosome 6. Presumably, the human homolog is located on 12p13. Silva-Santos et al. (2005) reported that double-positive T cells regulate the differentiation of early thymocyte progenitors and gamma-delta cells by a mechanism dependent on the transcription factor ROR-gamma-t and the lymphotoxin-beta receptor. Lo et al. (2007) identified lymphotoxin and LIGHT (TNFSF14), tumor necrosis factor cytokine family members that are primarily expressed on lymphocytes, as critical regulators of key enzymes that control lipid metabolism.
