Other Information

**Key Characteristics** TNFSF4 is a type II member of the TNF superfamily, which consists of six ligands (TNFSF1, TNFSF2, TNFSF3, TNFSF4, TNFSF5, and TNFSF6) and four receptors (TNFR1, TNFR2, TNFR3, and TNFRSF1A). TNFSF4 is a transmembrane protein that binds to its receptor, TNFR2, to activate signaling pathways. The binding of TNFSF4 to TNFR2 triggers the activation of NF-κB and MAPK pathways, leading to the transcription of target genes involved in immune responses, inflammation, and cell proliferation. **Pathways and Functions** TNFSF4 is involved in various signaling pathways, including: 1. **Acute Inflammatory Response**: TNFSF4 is expressed in epithelial cells and plays a role in regulating the acute inflammatory response by inducing the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-α and IL-1β. 2. **Cellular Response to Lipopolysaccharide**: TNFSF4 is involved in the regulation of the cellular response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a potent stimulator of immune responses. 3. **Cytokine Signaling in Immune System**: TNFSF4 regulates cytokine signaling in the immune system, including the production of IL-4, IL-6, and IL-10, which are involved in the regulation of immune responses and inflammation. 4. **Negative Regulation of DNA-Binding Transcription Factor Activity**: TNFSF4 also regulates the activity of DNA-binding transcription factors, such as NF-κB, which are involved in the regulation of gene expression. **Clinical Significance** TNFSF4 has been implicated in various diseases, including: 1. **Autoimmune Diseases**: TNFSF4 has been shown to regulate the activity of immune cells, including T cells and B cells, which are involved in autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. 2. **Cancer**: TNFSF4 has been implicated in the regulation of cancer cell growth and survival, and its expression has been linked to various types of cancer, including lung, breast, and colon cancer. 3. **Inflammatory Diseases**: TNFSF4 has been shown to regulate the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which are involved in inflammatory diseases, such as asthma and inflammatory bowel disease. In conclusion, TNFSF4 is a critical regulator of immune responses, inflammation, and cell proliferation. Its dysregulation has been implicated in various diseases, highlighting the importance of this gene in maintaining immune homeostasis and preventing disease.
