Validated All-in-One™ qPCR Primer for TNFSF14(NM_003807.4) 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
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) ligand family. This protein is a ligand for TNFRSF14, which is a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, and which is also known as a herpesvirus entry mediator (HVEM). This protein may function as a costimulatory factor for the activation of lymphoid cells and as a deterrent to infection by herpesvirus. This protein has been shown to stimulate the proliferation of T cells, and trigger apoptosis of various tumor cells. This protein is also reported to prevent tumor necrosis factor alpha mediated apoptosis in primary hepatocyte. Two alternatively spliced transcript variant encoding distinct isoforms have been reported. [provided by RefSeq].

- Effects in transgenic mice indicate that human LIGHT may function as a major regulator of T cell activation, and implicate LIGHT signaling pathways in inflammation focused on mucosal tissues.
- LIGHT (TNFSF14),5 its membrane-anchored ligand, was also present in atheromatous lesions and highest in regions rich in macrophage-derived foam cells.
- Role of calcium-signaling pathway in the transcriptional control
- LIGHT may act as an anti-apoptotic agent against TNFalpha-mediated liver injury by blocking the activation of both caspase-3 and caspase-8.

- Blockade of TNFSF14 signaling caused a substantial reduction in the expression of lymphotoxin beta receptor (LTbetaR)-controlled migration factors within the islets and disrupts organization of tertiary structures, leading to prevention of diabetes.
- LIGHT system may regulate early to middle stages of placental development via cell-specific, temporally programmed expression of the ligand and its receptors, and may also assist in preserving placental immune privilege.
- in addition to activating NF-kappaB/p52, LIGHT also activates Stat3 through the NIK pathway
- attenuated Salmonella typhimurium expressing LIGHT inhibited growth of primary tumors, as well as the dissemination of pulmonary metastases, in various mouse tumor models employing murine carcinoma cell lines in immunocompetent mice

- platelet-associated LIGHT is involved in adhesion of platelets to endothelium while soluble LIGHT induces a pro-inflammatory state in vascular endothelial cells
- Lymphotoxin-beta receptor ligand LIGHT activates both the the noncanonical and classical NF-kappa B pathways leading to proinflammatory gene expression in vascular endothelial cells.
- the allele T of C-770T and the haplotype TTGA of the promoter SNPs in LIGHT gene might decrease the expression of LIGHT and subsequently increase the susceptibility to vascular dementia in females
- derangement of LIGHT may be important for atherogenetic process of ischemic stroke.
- LIGHT was upregulated in both synovial fluid and synovium of rheumatoid arthritis patients compared with osteoarthritis patients.
- LIGHT acts synergistically with PAR-2 activation to promote enhanced release of the proatherogenic interleukin-8 & monocyte chemoattractant protein-1. The interaction between LIGHT & PAR-2 is biologically active, promoting potent inflammatory effects.
