Specificity / Sensitivity
LT-beta-R (E5I6X) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total LTβR protein. This antibody is expected to recognize multiple isoforms of LTβR protein. This antibody cross-reacts with an unidentified protein of 20 kDa and 30 kDa in some cell extracts.
Species Reactivity: Human
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Arg428 of human LTβR protein.
Background
Lymphotoxin β receptor (LTβR), also known as tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 3 (TNFRSF3) and tumor necrosis factor receptor type III (TNF-RIII), is a type I membrane receptor expressed by stromal cells, including endothelial, mesenchymal, and epithelial cells, and by myeloid cells, such as dendritic cells and macrophages (1-4). When lymphotoxin α (LTα) is co-expressed with lymphotoxin β (LTβ) that possesses a transmembrane domain, it forms a cell surface-bound heterotrimer (LTα1β2) that exclusively binds to LTβR (5,6). The LTα1β2/LTβR pathway is required for the normal development of lymph nodes and Peyer's patches (7,8). Disruption of the LTα1β2/LTβR pathway results in impaired protection from viral and bacterial infections (9,10). LTβR is also a receptor for LIGHT/TNFSF14 (11,12). LTβR signaling through LIGHT/TNFSF14 regulates self-renewal and differentiation of hematopoietic and leukemic stem cells (13). In cancer cells, LTβR signaling via TRAF molecules promotes apoptosis (14-16). Agonistic antibodies to LTβR trigger cancer cell death and suppress tumor growth (17).
