PeproTech's CHO cell-derived Recombinant Human GITR/TNFRSF18 Fc is a glycosylated, disulfide-linked homodimer of 738 amino-acid-residues whose monomer consists of a 136-amino-acid extracellular domain fused to the 231-amino-acid length Fc portion of human IgG by two glycine residues. The calculated molecular weight of monomeric CHO cell-derived Recombinant Human GITR/TNFRSF18 Fc is 40.6 kDa; however, due to glycosylation, it migrates at an apparent molecular weight of approximately 45-50 kDa by SDS-PAGE analysis under reducing conditions.

Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 18 (TNFRSF18), also called GITR or AITR is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TNFRSF18 gene. It is mapped to 1p36.33. This gene encodes a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily. The encoded receptor has been shown to have increased expression upon T-cell activation, and it is thought to play a key role in dominant immunological self-tolerance maintained by CD25 (+)CD4 (+) regulatory T cells. Knockout studies in mice also suggest the role of this receptor is in the regulation of CD3-driven T-cell activation and programmed cell death. Three alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene encoding distinct isoforms have been reported.
