Function | Cytokine that binds to LTBR/TNFRSF3. May play a specific role in immune response regulation. Provides the membrane anchor for the attachment of the heterotrimeric complex to the cell surface. Isoform 2 is probably non-functional. |
Subcellular Location | Membrane {ECO:0000305}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. |
Tissue Specificity | Spleen and thymus. |
Top Pathways | Cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, Rheumatoid arthritis |
