LIGHT / TNFSF14 Recombinant Protein

Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 14 (LIGHT) is a tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily ligand that regulates T cell immune responses by signaling through the herpes virus entry mediator (HVEM) and the lymphotoxin beta receptor (LTbetaR) . LIGHT has emerged as a potent initiator of T cell co-stimulation signals effecting CTL-mediated tumor rejection, allograft rejection and graft versus host disease. Constitutive expression of LIGHT leads to tissue destruction and autoimmune-like disease syndromes.

Lyophilized Protein should be stored at -20˚ C or lower for long term storage. Upon reconstitution, working aliquots should be stored at -20˚ C or -70˚ C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

This protein carries a mouse IgG2a Fc tag at the N-terminus. The protein has a calculated MW of 45.1 kDa. The protein migrates as 50 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.
