Mouse Anti-CD154 (CD40 Ligand, CD40-L, CD40L, CD40LG, gp39, hCD40L, HIGM1, IGM, IMD3, T-BAM, T-cell Antigen GP39, TNF-related Activation Protein, TRAP, Tumor Necrosis Factor Ligand Superfamily Member 5, TNF Ligand Superfamily Member 5, TNFSF5)

CD154 (CD40 ligand) is also known as CD40L, gp39, TRAP and T-BAM. CD40 ligand is a 32-39 kD type II transmembrane glycoprotein. It is a member of the TNF superfamily and is expressed on activated T cells. It has been reported to be important for B cell costimulation following binding of its receptor, CD40. Additionally, binding of CD40L to CD40 on B cells promotes the secretion of immunoglobulin and Ig isotype switching. CD40L is also involved in the regulation of cytokine production by T cells.
