Product Specific Information

The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity chromatography using an epitope-specific immunogen. The purity is greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Target Information

The tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and TNF receptor (TNFR) gene superfamilies regulate numerous biological functions including cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival through activation of NF-kappa-B and mitogen-activated protein kinases.
The glucocorticoid-induced tumor necrosis factor receptor (GITR) is an emerging member of this family, expressed on CD4⁺ CD25⁺ regulatory T cells, playing a crucial role in immune regulation.
Its ligand, GITRL, is expressed in endothelial and antigen-presenting cells and can activate NF-kappa-B, induce pro- and anti-apoptotic effects, inhibit suppressive activity of regulatory T cells, and co-stimulate responder T cells through GITR.
Dominant negative forms of NIK and TRAF2 expressed in transfected 293 cells substantially inhibited NF-kappa-B activation, suggesting that the GITRL–GITR pathway involves both NIK and TRAF2.
