4-1BB Receptor, TNFRSF9, human

4-1BB Receptor, TNFRSF9, human: 4-1BB receptor, also named TNFRSF9 is a member of the TNF superfamily of receptors. It is mainly expressed on the surface of a variety of T cells, but also found in B cells, monocytes, and various transformed cell lines. 4-1BB receptor binds to 4-1BBL, and they co-stimulate activity for activated T cells. Signaling by 4-1BB Receptor has been implicated in the antigen-presentation process and generation of cytotoxic T cells. Crosslinking of 4-1BB Receptor enhances T cell proliferation, IL-2 secretion survival and cytolytic activity. Further, it can enhance immune activity to eliminate tumors in mice. UnitProt ID: Q07011
