Target Information

The CD40 antigen is a single-chain glycoprotein belonging to the tumor necrosis factor/nerve growth factor superfamily. It shows significant homology to CD30 and is expressed on all B cells except plasma cells, as well as on some epithelial cells, carcinomas, and lymphoid dendritic cells.
CD40 plays an essential role in immune and inflammatory responses, including T cell-dependent immunoglobulin class switching, memory B cell development, and germinal center formation.
The transcription factor AKNA regulates CD40 expression, and adaptor protein TNFR2 mediates CD40 signal transduction.
CD40–ligand interaction is implicated in amyloid-beta-induced microglial activation, an early event in Alzheimer’s disease pathogenesis.
Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been reported.
Diseases associated with CD40 dysfunction include Type 3 Hyper-IgM immunodeficiency and CD40 ligand deficiency.
