Short Decsription
Creative Biolabs offers CHO-Tg(Human LIGHT) stable cell line which the LIGHT gene stably expressed in CHO cells.
Description
CHO-Tg(Human LIGHT) stable cell line is a cell line derived from Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells that have been transfected with a gene encoding human LIGHT (lymphotoxin-like, exhibits inducible expression, and competes with herpes simplex virus glycoprotein D for HVEM, a receptor expressed by T lymphocytes). This cell line overexpresses human LIGHT, allowing research on the biological functions and signaling pathways of this protein.

Background
The LIGHT gene, also known as TNFSF14, is a protein-coding gene that encodes a cytokine belonging to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) ligand family. It plays a crucial role in the immune response by activating various signaling pathways involved in inflammation, cell survival, and immune cell activation. The LIGHT protein binds to its receptor, HVEM (herpesvirus entry mediator), and acts as a co-stimulatory molecule in T-cell activation and proliferation. It also interacts with other receptors such as LTβR (lymphotoxin beta receptor) and DcR3 (decoy receptor 3), thereby influencing immune cell function. Dysregulation of the LIGHT gene has been implicated in various autoimmune diseases, chronic inflammatory conditions, and cancer. Targeting the LIGHT signaling pathway has emerged as a potential therapeutic strategy for these conditions.
