TNFRSF4
(Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Superfamily, Member 4 (TNFRSF4))
This antigen is expressed predominantly by CD4+ activated T cells, and a key regulator of T cell-dependent immune responses. CD134 has been identified as the receptor for the OX40 ligand, CD252, expressed by activated B cells, acting as a co-stimulatory signal for the stimulation and secretion of immunoglobulins. CD134 has also been identified as a binding receptor for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), acting along with CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) to facilitate the entry of the virus into CD4+ primary target cells.Synonyms: ACT35 antigen, OX40L receptor, TAX transcriptionally-activated glycoprotein 1 receptor, TNFRSF4, TXGP1L, Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 4
