    basic FUNCTION
  • tax-transcriptionally activated glycoprotein 1 receptor
  • involved in T cell-dependent antibody production
  • female-specific susceptible gene for essential hypertension
  • T cell costimulatory molecule, that contributes to T cell expansion, survival, and cytokine production, and potentiate the memory commitment of effector CD8+ T cells
  • important role of both TNFRSF4 and TNFRSF8 during CD8(+) T-cell activation, and long-term CD8 persistence after contraction is regulated not only by stimulatory receptors but also by the nature of the antigen or how the antigen is presented
  • required for regulatory T cell-mediated control of colitis
  • by recruiting T-cell receptor-related intracellular molecules into the TRAF2 complex, provides the T cell with a high level of NFKB activity needed for longevity
  • novel role for TNFRSF4 in promoting immune tolerance which may have important clinical implications
  • is necessary for robust CD4(+) T cell memory and confers apparently selective protective immunity against HHV-8 infection in endothelial cells
  • is critical for optimal clonal expansion and survival of T cells
  • TNFRSF4, TNFRSF18 play important roles in regulating activities of effector and regulatory T cells (Treg)
  • TNFRSF4 and IL7 play synergistic, but distinct roles in the homeostatic proliferation of CD4(+) effector memory T (TEM) cells
  • costimulatory receptor that can potentiate T-cell receptor signalling on the surface of T-lymphocytes
  • regulates cardiac remodelling via the modulation of CD4+ T-lymphocytes
  • TNFRSF4 and ICOS act in a cooperative, nonredundant manner to maximize and prolong the T follicular helper (Tfh) response that is generated after acute virus infection

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interacts with TRAF2, TRAF3 and TRAF5 (activate NF-kappaB through its interaction with adaptor proteins TRAF2 and TRAF5)
  • interaction between TNFRSF4 and TNFSF4 plays an important role in antigen-specific T-cell expansion and survival
  • PRKCQ and CARD11 form a signalosome with TNFRSF4 in the immune synapse and play a major role in promoting maximum and prolonged NFKB activity mediated by TNFRSF4
  • TRAF2 and CARD11 serve as keystones for formation of the full TNFRSF4 signalosome and for allowing NFkB activation by TNFRSF4 in T cells
  • primarily functions to augment AKT1 signaling in T cells by enhancing the amount of PIK3CD and AKT1 available to the TCR
  • likely upregulation of MYC following TNFRSF4 engagement drives T-cell proliferation and upregulation of MXD4 and MNT
  • TNFRSF4 signals regulate CD8 T cell survival at least in part through maintaining expression of the anti-apoptotic molecule A1
  • RC3H1 controls T-helper cell activation and differentiation by limiting the induced expression of costimulatory receptors such as TNFRSF4
