(Tumor Necrosis Factor (Ligand) Superfamily, Member 18 (TNFSF18))
GITRL is a 20 kD member of the tumour necrosis factor ligand superfamily, otherwise known as TNSF18. Mouse GITRL is predominantly expressed on immature and mature dendritic cells, macrophages and B cells. Expression of mouse GITRL can be transiently up regulated on these cells, following lipolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation, but protein expression is rapidly down modulated shortly after stimulation. Studies demonstrate that GITRL can neutralise the suppressive effects of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells and can also provide a co-stimulatory signal for both naive and primed T cells, suggesting a key role for GITRL in the regulation of T cell-mediated immunity.Synonyms: AITRL, Activation-inducible TNF-related ligand, GITRL, Glucocorticoid-induced TNF-related ligand, TL6, Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 18, hGITRL
