• Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)

CD40, also known as TNFRSF5, is a member of the TNF receptor superfamily which are single transmembrane-spanning glycoproteins. CD40 protein plays an essential role in mediating a broad variety of immune and inflammatory responses including T cell-dependent immunoglobulin class switching, memory B cell development, and germinal center formation. CD40 protein is expressed in B cells, dendritic cells, macrophages, endothelial cells, and several tumor cell lines. Defects in CD40 result in hyper-IgM immunodeficiency type 3 (HIGM3). In addition, CD40/CD40L interaction is found to be necessary for amyloid-beta-induced microglial activation, and thus is thought to be an early event in Alzheimer disease pathogenesis.

Human Cells

A DNA sequence encoding the rat CD40 (Met1-Arg193) was expressed, fused with a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.

Rat

The recombinant rat CD40 comprises 185 amino acids and predicts a molecular mass of 20.6 kDa. The apparent molecular mass of the recombinant protein is approximately 28 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions due to glycosylation.
