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 and plays a crucial role in immune regulation.
Its ligand, GITRL, is expressed in endothelial and antigen-presenting cells and can activate NF-kappa-B, induce both pro- and anti-apoptotic effects, inhibit regulatory T cell suppression, 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.
