CD154, Recombinant, Human, aa113-261, His-tag (CD40 Ligand, CD40-L, T-cell Antigen Gp39, TRAP, Tumor

CD40 ligand, also known as CD40LG, is a member of the TNF superfamily and is expressed on activated T cells. CD40LG is expressed as a soluble cytokine as well as a homotrimeric type II transmembrane protein. It has been reported to be important for B cell costimulation following binding of its receptor, CD40. Mutations in the gene encoding for CD154 are implicated in hyper-IgM immunodeficiency syndrome type 1. Source: Recombinant corresponding to aa113-261 from human CD40LG, fused to His-tag at N-terminus expressed in E.coli.
