    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • tumor necrosis factor family
  • CATEGORY signaling cytokine
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane
    text type II membrane protein
    basic FUNCTION
  • being a ligand for TNFRSF9/4-1BB
  • acting as a costimulatory molecule in T lymphocytes
  • involved in the antigen presentation process and in the generation of cytotoxic T cells
  • reactivate anergic T lymphocytes in addition to promoting T lymphocyte proliferation
  • is required for the optimal CD8 responses in CD8 T cells
  • is thought to be involved in T cell-tumor cell interaction
  • may have a role in activation-induced cell death (AICD)
  • may play a role in cognate interactions between T-cells and B-cells/macrophages
  • is released following leukocyte activation
  • may be an important mediator for maturation of CD11c(+) myeloid dendritic cells
  • may be indicative of the severity and outcome of rheumatoid arthritis
  • involved in reverse signaling in dendritic cells during the initiation of an adaptive immune response, including dendritic cells maturation, migration and, ultimately, antigen-specific T cell differentiation
