Validated All-in-One™ qPCR Primer for LTB(NM_002341.1) Search again
By default, qPCR primer pairs are designed to measure the expression level of the splice variant (accession number) you selected for this gene WITHOUT consideration of other possible variants of this gene. If this gene has multiple variants, and you would like to measure the expression levels of one particular variant, multiple variants, or all variants, please contact us for a custom service project at inquiry@genecopoeia.com.

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 alpha/2 molecules beta) and this complex is the primary ligand for the lymphotoxin-beta receptor. The minor complex is lymphotoxin-alpha 2/beta 1. LTB is an inducer of the inflammatory response system and involved in normal development of lymphoid tissue. Lymphotoxin-beta isoform b is unable to complex with lymphotoxin-alpha suggesting a function for lymphotoxin-beta which is independent of lympyhotoxin-alpha. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.

- Heterotypic interaction between LTbeta-producing lymphocytes and responding fibroblast-like synoviocytes contributes to establishment of complex lymphoid microstructures. May be one element in susceptibility of synovial membrane to lymphoid organogenesis
- The identification of IL-6 and IL-1beta as activators of LT-beta supports their involvement in LT-beta signaling in liver regeneration associated with chronic liver damage.
- Lymphotoxin (LT) beta receptor ligands LTalpha1 and -beta2 activate both the classical and noncanonical NF-kappa B pathways in human vascular endothelial cells and dermal microvascular endothelial cells in vitro.
- LT-Beta may play a role in rheumatoid arthritis disease pathogenesis by contributing to a more intense inflammatory reaction in the synovium
