AITRL, Human

Sequence: MQLETAKEPC MAKFGPLPSK WQMASSEPPC VNKVSDWKLE ILQNGLYLIY GQVAPNANYN DVAPFEVRLY KNKDMIQTLT TYELHVGDTI DLIFNSEHQV LIANPQEI with polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus Endotoxin level: <0.1 EU per 1 µg of the protein by the LAL method. Protein function: Cytokine that binds to TNFRSF18/AITR/GITR. Regulates T-cell responses. Can function as costimulator and lower the threshold for T- cell activation and T-cell proliferation. Important for interactions between activated T-lymphocytes and endothelial cells. Mediates activation of NF-kappa-B. Triggers increased phosphorylation of STAT1 and up-regulates expression of VCAM1 and ICAM1 (PubMed:23892569). Promotes leukocyte adhesion to endothelial cells (PubMed:23892569). Regulates migration of monocytes from the splenic reservoir to sites of inflammation. [The UniProt Consortium]
