AITRL, a type II transmembrane protein, is a ligand for glucocorticoid-induced TNFR-related protein (GITR). When AITRL binds to GITR, GITR can produce costimulatory signals that regulate T-cell proliferation and effector functions. GITR/AITRL interaction plays a role in the pathogenesis of tumor, inflammation, as well as autoimmune diseases[1]. Besides, AITRL plays a role in endothelial cells (EC)-activation and increases STAT-1 phosphorylation and the expression of adhesion molecules (VCAM-1, ICAM-1)[2]. AITRL/TNFSF18 Protein, Cynomolgus (HEK293, His) is a recombinant cynomolgus AITRL (E74-S199) with C-terminal 6*His tag, which is expressed in HEK293.
Molecular Weight:
Approximately 15-20 kDa, based on SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.
