Description
|
CD40 ligand(CD40L) is a type II membrane protein of 261
amino acids on activated T cells that induces B cell
proliferation and immunoglobulin secretion.
It has homology with tumour necrosis factor-alpha and
-beta, and has important functions in B-cell activation and
differentiation. Human CD40L with 5 exons, is mapped to the
proximal region of the mouse X chromosome on Xq26.3-27.1,
and can be detected on T cells but is absent from B cells
and monocytes. Since CD40L is expressed on platelets and
released from them on activation, its predictive value as a
marker for clinical outcome and the therapeutic effect of
inhibition of glycoprotein IIb /IIIa receptor in patients
with acute coronary syndromes was investigated. The soluble
CD40L may be involved in the process of restenosis and that
it exerts its effect by triggering a complex group of
inflammatory reactions on endothelial and mononuclear
cells.CD40L plays a central role in the pathophysiology of
acute coronary syndromes, and has a role in the pathogenesis
of coronary artery lesions.
