About Cd40lg

Summary

Enables CD40 receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of B cell proliferation; positive regulation of MHC class II biosynthetic process; and positive regulation of cytokine production. Located in several cellular components, including cell body; cell surface; and extracellular space. Used to study Ehrlich tumor carcinoma; artery disease (multiple); autoimmune disease (multiple); thrombosis; and vitamin B12 deficiency. Biomarker of atherosclerosis; coronary artery disease; perinatal necrotizing enterocolitis; periodontal disease; and pulmonary hypertension. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Kawasaki disease; autoimmune disease (multiple); combined T cell and B cell immunodeficiency (multiple); hematologic Cancer (multiple); and lupus nephritis. Orthologous to human CD40LG (CD40 ligand). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
