Human GITRL ELISA Kit
Background: Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 18, also known as AITRL or GITRL, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TNFSF18 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor(TNF) ligand family. It is mapped to 1q25.1. TNFSF18 is a ligand for receptor TNFRSF18/AITR/GITR. It has been shown to modulate T lymphocyte survival in peripheral tissues. This cytokine is also found to be expressed in endothelial cells, and is thought to be important for interaction between T lymphocytes and endothelial cells. TNFSF18-dependent modulation of tryptophan catabolism may represent an important mechanism of action of glucocorticoids, both physiologically and therapeutically.

Uniprot Description
TNFSF18: Cytokine that binds to TNFRSF18/AITR/GITR. Regulates T- cell responses. Can function as costimulator and lower the threshold for T-cell activation and T-cell proliferation. Important for interactions between activated T-lymphocytes and endothelial cells. Mediates activation of NF-kappa-B. Belongs to the tumor necrosis factor family.

Product Notes
The Human TNFSF18 tnfsf18 (Catalog #AAA8248411) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA8248411 ELISA Kit recognizes Human TNFSF18. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "GITRL, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
