Product Characteristics: TNFSF18L, CD357L,AITRL, TL6, TNLG2A, tumor necrosis factor superfamily member 18, TNF superfamily member 18Glucocorticoid-induced tumour necrosis factor receptor Ligand
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) ligand family. This cytokine is a ligand for receptor TNFRSF18/AITR/GITR. It has been shown to modulate T lymphocyte survival in peripheral tissues. This cytokine is also found to be expressed in endothelial cells, and is thought to be important for interaction between T lymphocytes and endothelial cells. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
