ENSP00000416113

InnateDB Gene

IDBG-302504 (LTB)

Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Cytokine that binds to LTBR/TNFRSF3. May play a specific role in immune response regulation. Provides the membrane anchor for the attachment of the heterotrimeric complex to the cell surface. Isoform 2 is probably non-functional.

Subcellular Localization

Membrane {ECO:0000305}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000305}.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Spleen and thymus.
