LTbetaR Functional mAb (clone 4H8 WH2), anti-mouse

Background:
The LT-β-R activates two different NF-kappa pathways that lead to distinct patterns of gene induction, including selected chemokines and the cytokine BAFF, which is essential for the survival of mature B lymphocytes. LT-β-R activates the classical NF-kappa (relA/p50) pathway, like the type 1 TNF receptor (TNFR1), that regulates proinflammatory genes, like the chemokine MIP1-β-. However, LT-β-R, unlike TNFR1, also activates the processing of p100 to form RelB/p52 complexes, which activate genes involved in lymphoid organ formation and lymphocyte survival.

Other Names:
Lymphotoxin-β Receptor; Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor 2 Related Protein; Tumor Necrosis Factor C Receptor; Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Superfamily Member 3; TNFRSF3
