lymphotoxinalpha
Lymphotoxin alpha, also known as TNF-beta, is a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily. It is a type of cytokine, a signaling molecule produced by immune cells. Lymphotoxin alpha plays a critical role in the development and function of lymphoid organs, as well as in immune responses to pathogens and in inflammation. It is primarily expressed by lymphocytes, including T cells and B cells, but can also be found on other cell types.
The protein exists as a trimer, meaning three identical subunits assemble to form a functional molecule. This
Dysregulation of lymphotoxin alpha signaling has been implicated in various autoimmune diseases and inflammatory conditions. Its
