Biological function summary
CD70 plays an essential role in the regulation of immune responses. It does this by binding to its receptor CD27 forming a receptor-ligand complex that triggers signaling pathways vital for T cell proliferation survival and differentiation. This interaction also influences the production of immunoglobulins by B cells. CD70-CD27 signaling is particularly important in shaping adaptive immunity enhancing the body's ability to respond to pathogens effectively.
Pathways
CD70 is integral in the activation of the NF-κB and MAPK pathways. These pathways are activated upon the interaction of CD70 with CD27 promoting cell survival proliferation and pro-inflammatory cytokine production. Other proteins related to CD70 through these pathways include TRAF2 and TRAF3 which are essential for downstream signaling events that modulate immune responses.
