Background

The CD40 ligand (CD40L), also known as TRAP or CD154, is a member of the TNF superfamily of ligands. CD40L is primarily expressed on activated CD4+ T cells and on a small proportion of CD8+ T cells and platelets. It binds to CD40 on antigen-presenting cells (APC), which leads to many effects depending on the target cell type. It has been suggested that CD40/CD40L interactions regulate oxidative stress and affect various signaling pathways in both the immunological and the cardiovascular systems. The CD40/CD40L system is also involved in tumorigenesis. Its expression is tightly regulated, and abnormal levels of CD40L are associated with the pathogenesis of atheromatous plaque destabilization and thrombotic events. Multiple mutations in CD40LG gene have been identified that are associated with hyper-IgM immunodeficiency syndrome type 1.
