Background:

HVEM (herpes virus entry mediator A), also known as TR2, ATAR, HVEA, LIGHTR or TNFRSF14 (tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, member 14), is a 283 amino acid single-pass type I membrane protein that is widely expressed, with highest expression in lung, spleen and thymus. A member of the TNF receptor superfamily, HVEM mediates the entry of herpes simplex virus (HSV) 1 and 2 into T lymphocytes by serving as an attachment site for the HSV envelope glycoprotein D (gD).HVEM acts as a receptor for two cellular ligands, secreted lymphotoxin and LIGHT. A member of the TNF superfamily produced by activated T-cell, LIGHT is suggested to induce apoptosis and suppress tumor formation. Consisting of three TNFR-Cys repeats, HVEM plays a critical role in HSV pathogenesis. HVEM is encoded by a gene located on human chromosome 1, which spans 260 million base pairs, contains over 3,000 genes and comprises nearly 8% of the human genome.

Specificity:

TNFRSF14 polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of TNFRSF14 protein.
