LTA Recombinant Monoclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P01374

Target Species

Human

Target Name

LTA

Target Full Name

Lymphotoxin-alpha

Target Function

Cytokine that in its homotrimeric form binds to TNFRSF1A/TNFR1, TNFRSF1B/TNFBR and TNFRSF14/HVEM. In its heterotrimeric form with LTB binds to TNFRSF3/LTBR. Lymphotoxin is produced by lymphocytes and is cytotoxic for a wide range of tumor cells in vitro and in vivo.

Target Involvement

Psoriatic arthritis (PSORAS)

Target Subcellular Location

Secreted. Membrane. Note=The homotrimer is secreted. The heterotrimer is membrane-associated.

Target Protein Families

Tumor necrosis factor family

Target Research Area

Cancer

Target Background

The encoded protein, a member of the tumor necrosis factor family, is a cytokine produced by lymphocytes. The protein is highly inducible, secreted, and forms heterotrimers with lymphotoxin-beta which anchor lymphotoxin-alpha to the cell surface. This protein also mediates a large variety of inflammatory, immunostimulatory, and antiviral responses, is involved in the formation of secondary lymphoid organs during development and plays a role in apoptosis. Genetic variations in this gene are associated with susceptibility to leprosy type 4, myocardial infarction, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and psoriatic arthritis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed for this gene.
