Anti-LIGHT / TNFSF14 / HVEML

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 14 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TNFSF14 gene. TNFSF14 has also been designated as CD258, as well as LIGHT. It was mapped on chromosome 19p13.3. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the tumor necrosis factor(TNF) ligand family. This protein may function as a costimulatory factor for the activation of lymphoid cells and as a deterrent to infection by herpesvirus. It has been shown to stimulate the proliferation of T cells, and trigger apoptosis of various tumor cells. This protein is also reported to prevent tumor necrosis factor alpha mediated apoptosis in primary hepatocyte. Two alternatively spliced transcript variant encoding distinct isoforms have been reported. Protein function: Cytokine that binds to TNFRSF3/LTBR. Binding to the decoy receptor TNFRSF6B modulates its effects. Activates NFKB and stimulates the proliferation of T-cells. [The UniProt Consortium]
