Gene name Lymphotoxin beta
Gene symbol LTB
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
TNFCTNFSF3TNLG1Cp33
Chromosome 6
Chromosome location 6p21.33
Summary Lymphotoxin beta is a type II membrane protein of the TNF family. It anchors lymphotoxin-alpha to the cell surface through heterotrimer formation. The predominant form on the lymphocyte surface is the lymphotoxin-alpha 1/beta 2 complex (e.g. 1 molecule al

Protein name Lymphotoxin-beta (LT-beta) (Tumor necrosis factor C) (TNF-C) (Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 3)
Protein function Cytokine that binds to LTBR/TNFRSF3 (PubMed:24248355). 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-functiona
