CD27
| View/Edit Human | View/Edit Mouse |
CD27 is a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily. It is currently of interest to immunologists as a co-stimulatory immune checkpoint molecule.
Function
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily. This receptor is required for generation and long-term maintenance of T cell immunity. It binds to ligand CD70, and plays a key role in regulating B-cell activation and immunoglobulin synthesis. This receptor transduces signals that lead to the activation of NF-κB and MAPK8/JNK. Adaptor proteins TRAF2 and TRAF5 have been shown to mediate the signaling process of this receptor. CD27-binding protein (SIVA), a proapoptotic protein, can bind to this receptor and is thought to play an important role in the apoptosis induced by this receptor.[3]
Clinical significance
As a drug target
Varlilumab is an antibody that binds to CD27 and is an experimental cancer treatment.
Interactions
CD27 has been shown to interact with SIVA1,[4] TRAF2[5][6] and TRAF3.[5][6]
