Entrez ID 4049
Gene name Lymphotoxin alpha
Gene symbol LTA
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
LTTNFBTNFSF1TNLG1E
Chromosome 6
Chromosome location 6p21.33
Summary The encoded protein, a member of the tumor necrosis factor family, is a cytokine produced by lymphocytes. The protein is highly inducible, secreted, and forms heterotrimers with lymphotoxin-beta which anchor lymphotoxin-alpha to the cell surface. This pro
