Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 959
Gene name CD40 ligand
Gene symbol CD40LG
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
CD154CD40LHIGM1IGMIMD3T-BAMTNFSF5TRAPgp39hCD40L
Chromosome X
Chromosome location Xq26.3
Summary The protein encoded by this gene is expressed on the surface of T cells. It regulates B cell function by engaging CD40 on the B cell surface. A defect in this gene results in an inability to undergo immunoglobulin class switch and is associated with hyper

Protein name CD40 ligand (CD40-L) (T-cell antigen Gp39) (TNF-related activation protein) (TRAP) (Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 5) (CD antigen CD154) [Cleaved into: CD40 ligand, membrane form; CD40 ligand, soluble form (sCD40L)]
Protein function Cytokine that acts as a ligand to CD40/TNFRSF5 (PubMed:1280226, PubMed:31331973). Costimulates T-cell proliferation and cytokine production (PubMed:8617933). Its cross-linking on T-cells generates a costimulatory signal which enhances the produc
