Name :
Human 4-1BB/CD137 Protein, ECD (Extracellular Domain), Fc-fusion, Recombinant

Description :
4-­1BB, also known as CD137, ILA and TNFRSF9, is a single-pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein of the TNF receptor superfamily (TNFRSF). 4­1BB is expressed as a disulfide­linked homodimer on activated T cells. 4-1BB is absent from naive T cells, but its expression is induced by lymphocyte activation. 4-1BB is the receptor for 4-1BB ligand/TNFSF9, which is expressed on antigen-presenting cells such as macrophages and activated B cells. 4-1BB mediated signaling pathway contributes to the proliferation, survival, and development of T cells. 4-1BB can also promote proliferation in peripheral monocytes, enhance T cell apoptosis triggered by TCR-CD3 activation, and regulate CD28 co-stimulation to promote Th1 cell responses. 4­1BB deficient mice show augmented T cell activation. 4-1BB and its ligand are also expressed in different human tumor tissues. 4­-1BB activation by crosslinking with its ligand or agonistic antibody enhances cytotoxic T cell and NK cell mediated anti­tumor immunity. 4­-1BB can interact with OX40 on activated T cells, forming a complex that responds to either ligand and inhibits Treg and CD8+ T cell proliferation. 4-1BB may also be involved in the development of inflammation in high fat diet­induced metabolic syndrome. The soluble form of 4­-1BB circulates at elevated levels in the serum of rheumatoid arthritis.
