Function

Cytokine that acts as a ligand to CD40/TNFRSF5 (PubMed:1280226, PubMed:31331973). Costimulates T-cell proliferation and cytokine production (PubMed:8617933). Its cross-linking on T-cells generates a costimulatory signal which enhances the production of IL4 and IL10 in conjunction with the TCR/CD3 ligation and CD28 costimulation (PubMed:8617933). Induces the activation of NF-kappa-B (PubMed:15067037, PubMed:31331973). Induces the activation of kinases MAPK8 and PAK2 in T-cells (PubMed:15067037). Induces tyrosine phosphorylation of isoform 3 of CD28 (PubMed:15067037). Mediates B-cell proliferation in the absence of co-stimulus as well as IgE production in the presence of IL4 (By similarity). Involved in immunoglobulin class switching (By similarity). CD40 ligand, soluble form. Acts as a ligand for integrins, specifically ITGA5:ITGB1 and ITGAV:ITGB3; both integrins and the CD40 receptor are required for activation of CD40-CD40LG signaling, which have cell-type dependent effects, such as B-cell activation, NF-kappa-B signaling and anti-apoptotic signaling.

Activity summary

TRAP/CD40L also known as CD154 or CD40 ligand is a type II transmembrane protein with a molecular mass of approximately 39 kDa. CD40L is mainly expressed on the surface of activated T cells. This protein binds to CD40 a significant receptor present on several immune cells including B cells macrophages and dendritic cells. The interaction with CD40 is essential for immune cell activation and development marking CD40L as an important player in adaptive immunity.

Biological function summary

The interaction between CD40L and CD40 triggers cell proliferation differentiation and apoptosis in immune cells. CD40L contributes to the formation of an immunological synapse encompassing its role in T helper cell function. Furthermore CD40L is implicated in the activation of B cells which are necessary for antibody class switching and memory cell generation. Its broad influence shows CD40L's involvement in immune system regulation and response.

Pathways

CD40L is integral to the CD40 signaling pathway which is involved in immune and inflammatory responses. CD40L activates the NF-kB and JNK signaling pathways by engaging with CD40 which then drives the transcription of genes related to immune response. This signaling cascade impacts several other proteins such as TRAF proteins which act as intermediaries in propagating the signal.

Associated diseases and disorders

CD40L has been linked to immune-related conditions including autoimmune disorders and inflammatory diseases. Elevated CD40L expression is observed in diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis. In SLE CD40L interaction with CD40 on B cells is known to exacerbate disease severity by promoting autoantibody production. Exploring anti-CD40L therapeutic strategies can offer potential intervention in such diseases.

    Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-TRAP/CD40L antibody (ab65854)

    TRAP/CD40L was detected in paraffin-embedded section of human mammary tissues. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution) for 20 mins. The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 1μg/ml ab65854 overnight at 4°C. Biotinylated goat anti-rabbit IgG was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The tissue section was developed using Strepavidin-Biotin-Complex with DAB as the chromogen.
