Description

Description: Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and TNF receptor (TNFR) superfamily members are regulators of diverse cellular functions such as proliferation, differentiation, and survival/apoptosis. The glucocorticoid-induced TNFR family-related protein (GITR, also known as TNFRSF18 and AITR) is an inducible type I transmembrane protein that modulates T cell survival. The ligand for GITR (GITR Ligand/TNFSF18, also known as AITRL or TL6) is a type II transmembrane protein expressed on endothelial cells, dendritic cells, retinal pigment epithelium and photoreceptor inner segments of the eye, and on stimulated monocytes. Stimulation by LPS and viral infection leads to enhanced expression of GITR Ligand on endothelial cells and antigen presenting cells. Interactions between GITR and GITR Ligand are believed to play a significant role in immunologic tolerance, and immune cell function in the periphery.
