CD70
CD70 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CD70 gene. CD70 is a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) ligand family. This cytokine is a ligand for TNF receptor superfamily member 27 (TNFRSF27/CD27). It is a surface antigen on activated B cells and activated T cells, and is induced by interleukin-2 (IL-2).
Function[edit | edit source]
CD70 is a transmembrane protein that is expressed on activated lymphocytes. It interacts with CD27 to play a crucial role in T cell activation, B cell proliferation and differentiation, cytotoxic T cell induction, and immunoglobulin synthesis.
Clinical significance[edit | edit source]
CD70 has been implicated in various diseases. It is overexpressed in renal cell carcinoma and is associated with poor prognosis. It is also involved in autoimmune diseases, and blocking CD70-CD27 interactions has been proposed as a therapeutic strategy.
Interactions[edit | edit source]
CD70 has been shown to interact with CD27.
