    basic FUNCTION
  • putative regulator of tumor cell growth
  • a proliferation-inducing ligand
  • involved in the regulation of death-ligand-induced apoptotic signaling in malignat glioma cells
  • TNFSF13, TNFSF13B are known to be involved in the occurrence of autoimmune diseases
  • regulator of B-cell-mediated immune responses through the modulation of B-cell survival and activation
  • macrophages express a membrane-bound form of TNFSF13 which, upon stimulation, modulates the activities of macrophages through stimulation or inhibition of processes associated with inflammation
  • TNFSF13, TNFSF13B are members of the TNF superfamily that regulate B-cell survival and autoreactivity
  • TNFSF13, TNFSF13B induced rapid phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2) and AKT1 kinases and promoted an increase in human adipose-derived stem cells (hASC) proliferation, without affecting the immunosuppressive capacity of these cells
  • TNFSF13, TNFSF13B play a crucial role in B cell development, survival, and antibody production
  • is a negative regulator of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) by regulating autoantibody production
  • promotes axon elongation by a mechanism that depends both on ERK signaling and PI3-kinase/AKT1/GSK3B signaling
  • TNFSF13 and FDX1 have potential roles in IgA nephropathy (IgAN)
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling signal transduction
    a component
  • heterotrimer with ANP32B
  • TNFSF13, TNFSF13B assemble as homotrimers that bind and activate several receptors that they partially share
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • TNFSF13 binding to TNFRSF17 decreases cell proliferation by inducing G(2)/M cell cycle arrest
  • NFKB1 mediates TNFSF13-induced HOXC4 transcription
