About TNFSF18

Cytogenetic location: 1q25.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 1:173,039,202-173,050,941 (from NCBI)

This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant) and 83 orthologues. Broad expression in gall bladder (RPKM 1.2), brain (RPKM 1.0) and 16 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) ligand family. This cytokine 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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
