Summary of TNFSF4
This gene encodes a cytokine of the tumor necrosis factor family. It mediates adhesion of activated T cells to endothelial cells. Mutations of this gene are associated with lupus (R).
The Function of TNFSF4
Cytokine that binds to TNFRSF4. Co-stimulates T-cell proliferation and cytokine production.

Advanced Summary
Covered on Genetics Home Reference: systemic sclerodermasystemic lupus erythematosusFrom NCBI Gene: Myocardial infarction 1From UniProt: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE): A chronic, relapsing, inflammatory, and often febrile multisystemic disorder of connective tissue, characterized principally by involvement of the skin, joints, kidneys and serosal membranes. It is of unknown etiology, but is thought to represent a failure of the regulatory mechanisms of the autoimmune system. The disease is marked by a wide range of system dysfunctions, an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and the formation of LE cells in the blood or bone marrow. [MIM:152700]
From NCBI Gene: This gene encodes a cytokine of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) ligand family. The encoded protein functions in T cell antigen-presenting cell (APC) interactions and mediates adhesion of activated T cells to endothelial cells. Polymorphisms in this gene have been associated with Sjogren's syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
