Recombinant Proteins

Stored at -20°C for 2 years

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]. Animal-Free AITRL/TNFSF18 Protein, Human (His) is a recombinant human AITRL (Q49-I174) with C-terminal His tag, which is expressed in E.coli.This product is for cell culture use only.
