Description: GITR (glucocorticoid-induced tumor necrosis factor receptor), also known as AITR and TNFRSF18, is a 40 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein that functions in immune regulation.GIRT is a receptor for TNFSF18. Seems to be involved in interactions between activated T-lymphocytes and endothelial cells and in the regulation of T-cell receptor-mediated cell death. Mediated NF-kappa-B activation via the TRAF2/NIK pathway. GITR/TNFRSF18 Protein, Human, Recombinant (aa 26-161, His & Avi), Biotinylated is expressed in HEK293 mammalian cells with C-His-Avi tag. The predicted molecular weight is 17.2 kDa and the accession number is Q9Y5U5-1.
Molecular Weight: 17.2 kDa (predicted). Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 26-28 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.
