CD40Ligand
CD40 Ligand, also known as CD154, is a protein that plays a crucial role in the immune system. It is a type II transmembrane protein, meaning it spans the cell membrane once with its amino terminus facing the cytoplasm. CD40 Ligand is primarily expressed on activated T cells, but can also be found on other immune cells like basophils, mast cells, and activated B cells.
The primary function of CD40 Ligand is to interact with its receptor, CD40, which is expressed on
Beyond its role in B cell regulation, CD40 Ligand signaling also influences the maturation and function of
