CD40L/CD154/TRAP 蛋白, Rabbit (His)

CD40L (CD154; TRAP) is a ligand to CD40/TNFRSF5, acts function by generating a costimulatory signal that up-regulates IL-4 synthesis^[1]. CD40L is specifically expressed on activated CD4+ T-lymphocytes and involves in activation of NF-κB/MAPK pathway^[2][3]. CD40L also involves in B cell differentiation, maturation, and apoptosis^[4]. CD40L in Rabbit, cleaved into a soluble form, acts as a ligand for integrins (ITGA5:ITGB1 and ITGAV:ITGB3). CD40L/CD154/TRAP Protein, Rabbit (His) has a total length of 149 amino acids (M113-L261), is expressed in E. coli cells with N-terminal 6*His-tag.

CD40 配体（CD40L；CD154；TRAP）属于肿瘤坏死因子 (TNF) 家族，是 CD40/TNFRSF5 的配体，特异性表达于活化的 CD4+ T 淋巴细胞^[1]。
CD40L 是 B 细胞上的一种 II 型跨膜蛋白，可触发 B 细胞分化、成熟和凋亡的重要信号^[4]。
CD40L 通过与 T 细胞交联来发挥作用产生共刺激信号，从而与 TCR/CD3 连接和 CD28 共刺激一起增强 IL4 和 IL10 的产生，并促进干扰素-γ 和 TNF-α^[1] 的产生^[4]。
CD40L 与抗原呈递细胞 (APC) 上的 CD40 结合，通过刺激 I-κB 激酶 (IKK) 激活 TNFR 相关因子 2 和 IKK2 依赖性通路，增加 NF-κB DNA 结合和 p65 核转位。I-κB 激酶的激活导致 c-Jun N 末端激酶强烈激活以及 GST-I-κB 和 GST-p65 磷酸化^[2]。
CD40L 参与 MAPK强烈抑制 Bcl-6 的途径，诱导 Erk1/2、p38 和 Jnk1/2 磷酸化，并激活 NF-κB^[3] 介导的 IRF4。
CD40L 还结合并发出信号通过几个整合素，包括 αvβ3 和 α5β1，它们与 CD40L 的三聚体界面结合。CD40L 在免疫反应中发挥重要作用，是炎症的主要靶点^[5]。
