Gene information for TNFRSF18 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID8784
Official gene symbolTNFRSF18
Full nametumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, member 18
Aliases,AITR,GITR,GITR-D,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily. This receptor has been shown to have increased expression upon T-cell activation, and it is thought to play a key role in dominant immunological self-tolerance maintained by CD25(+)CD4(+) regulatory T cells. Knockout studies in mice also suggest the role of this receptor is in the regulation of CD3-driven T-cell activation and programmed cell death. Three alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene encoding distinct isoforms have been reported. [provided by RefSeq]
