Gene ID	8995
Accession	Q9UNG2
Alternative Name	Activation-inducible TNF-related ligand, AITRL, Glucocorticoid-induced TNF-related ligand, GITRL, hGITRL, Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 18, TNFSF18, TL-6<br/>Recombinant Human Activation-Induced TNFR Member Ligand (TNFSF18)
Species	Human
Source	E. coli
Description	TNFSF18 is a transmembrane glycoprotein which is expressed in vascular endothelial cells as well as neurons, antigen presenting cells, CD4-CD8 double negative thymic precursors, and in the eye. TNFSF18 works to mediate the interactions between T cells and endothelial cells, and T cell growth. It has been shown that TNFSF18’s expression is transiently up-regulated by proinflammatory stimulation.
Accession	Q9UNG2
Functions	N.A.
Formulation	Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in PBS with BSA as a carrier protein.
Solubility	Reconstitute at 100 μg/mL in PBS containing at least 0.1% human or bovine serum albumin.
Appearance	Lyophilized Powder
Molecular Weight	14.2
