Background:

A proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL), also designated TNFSF13, is a Type II membrane protein that shares characteristics with other members of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) cytokine family. APRIL is expressed in high levels in transformed cell lines and in human colon, thyroid, and lymphoid tumor tissues. APRIL is critically involved in the regulation of infections, inflammation, autoimmune diseases, and tissue homeostasis. APRIL is implicated in the regulation of tumor cell growth. The C-terminal extracellular domain has b jelly roll topography and is important in ligand trimerization. The binding of the ligand to its respective receptor induces oligomerization, initiating downstream signaling events. Intrinsic to oligomerization is the formation of the receptor binding site at the junction between neighboring subunits, creating a multivalent ligand.

Specificity:

APRIL (S183) polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of APRIL protein.
