Rabbit anti-Human CD70 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P32970

Target Species

Human

Target Name

CD70

Target Full Name

CD70 antigen

Target Function

Cytokine which is the ligand for CD27. The CD70-CD27 pathway plays an important role in the generation and maintenance of T cell immunity, in particular during antiviral responses. Upon CD27 binding, induces the proliferation of costimulated T-cells and enhances the generation of cytolytic T-cells.

Target Subcellular Location

Membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein.

Target Protein Families

Tumor necrosis factor family

Target Research Area

Cancer

Target Synonyms

CD 27L; CD 70; CD27 L; CD27 LG; CD27 ligand; CD27-L; CD27L; CD27LG; CD70; CD70 antigen; CD70 molecule; CD70_HUMAN; Ki 24 antigen; Ki24 antigen; Surface antigen CD70; TNFSF 7 ; TNFSF7; Tumor necrosis factor (ligand) superfamily, member 7; Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 7

Target Background

The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) ligand family. This cytokine is a ligand for TNFRSF27/CD27. It is a surface antigen on activated, but not on resting, T and B lymphocytes. It induces proliferation of costimulated T cells, enhances the generation of cytolytic T cells, and contributes to T cell activation. This cytokine is also reported to play a role in regulating B-cell activation, cytotoxic function of natural killer cells, and immunoglobulin sythesis.
