Human HVEM / TNFRSF14 Protein, Fc Tag

Tris with Glycine, Arginine and NaCl, pH7.5

Herpesvirus entry mediator (HVEM) is also known as TNFRSF14, TR2 (TNF receptorlike molecule) and ATAR (another TRAF associated receptor), is a type I membrane protein belonging to the TNF/NGF receptor superfamily. HVEM expression has been detected in peripheral blood T cells, B cells, monocytes and in various tissues enriched in lymphoid cells. The extracellular domain of HVEM has been shown to interact directly with the herpes simplex virus envelope glycoprotein D (gD). Two TNF superfamily ligands, including the secreted TNFbeta (lymphotoxin alpha) and the membrane protein LIGHT (lymphotoxins, exhibits inducible expression, and competes with HSV glycoprotein D for HVEM, a receptor expressed by T lymphocytes), have been shown to be the cellular ligands for HVEM. Besides HVEM, LIGHT can also interact with LTbetaR, the receptor for lymphotoxin alphabeta heterotrimer. The role of the HVEM LIGHT /LTbeta receptor ligand pair in immune function and herpesvirus pathobiology remains to be elucidated.
