Product Description
HVEM, a member of the TNFR superfamily, is a type I transmembrane protein containing 2 TNF receptor domains with a predicted molecular weight of approximately 30kD. HVEM is widely expressed in blood vessels, brain, heart, kidney, liver, lung, prostate, spleen, thymus and other organs. Resting T cells and naive and memory B cells express high levels of HVEM as well. In humans, HVEM is not expressed in germinal center B cells. Immature dendritic cells express high levels of HVEM that is downregulated upon maturation. HVEM plays an important role in herpes simplex virus pathogenesis by enhancing entry into cells. Signaling through HVEM activates JNK1, NF-kB and AP-1 to control gene expression in response to infection or cellular stress and activate the immune response. HVEM binds to LIGHT and has also been shown to associate with several other proteins including TRAF1, TRAF2, TRAF3, TRAF5, B and T lymphocyte associated protein (BTLA), and estrogen receptor alpha.
