AdipoGen GITRL Soluble hrecHis
![]()
Protein. The extracellular domain of human GITRL aa 74-199 is fused at the C-terminus to a His-tag. Source HEK 293 cells. Endotoxin content <0.06EU/µg purified protein LAL test Lonza. Lyophilized from 0.2µm-filtered solution in PBS. Purity >90% SDS-PAGE. GITRL Glucocorticoid-induced TNF receptor ligand is expressed on dendritic cells DC, monocytes, macrophages, B cells, activated T cells, endothelial cells, osteoclasts and various healthy non-lymphoid tissues e.g. testis. GITRL is constitutively expressed and released as soluble form by solid tumors and various hematopoietic malignancies. GITRL causes differentiation of osteoclasts, activation of macrophages, but also alteration of carcinoma and leukemia cells and influences apoptosis. Binding to GITR is important in regulating T cell proliferation and TCR-mediated apoptosis. GITRL is implicated in development of autoimmune diseases and in the immune response against infectious pathogens and tumors.
