CD137 also known as 4-1BB or TNFRSF9 is a protein that functions as a costimulatory receptor in the immune system. It belongs to the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily. CD137 has a mass of approximately 30 kDa. Expression of CD137 occurs mainly on activated T lymphocytes including both CD8+ and CD4+ T cells as well as natural killer (NK) cells dendritic cells and monocytes. The CD137 ligand (CD137L) is the counterpart that engages this receptor transmitting signals important for immune response regulation.
Biological function summary
CD137 plays an important role in T cell activation and survival. It is a member of a receptor-ligand system that enhances immune cell functions. CD137 is part of a receptor complex that when bound by its ligand CD137L promotes cell proliferation and cytokine production. It also supports the development of memory T cells contributing to the body's ability to mount long-term immune responses.
Pathways
CD137 takes part in the NF-kB signaling and MAPK pathways. These pathways are vital for regulating immune responses and inflammation. CD137 signaling through these pathways involves interaction with proteins such as TRAF1 and TRAF2 which help mediate downstream effects critical for cell survival and proliferation. These interactions enhance the body's defense against pathogens and tumors.
CD137 is associated with cancer immunotherapy and autoimmune diseases. In cancer CD137 enhances the anti-tumor activity of immune cells making it a target for immunotherapy strategies. For autoimmune diseases abnormal CD137 expression can lead to excessive immune responses contributing to disease pathogenesis. The protein is also connected to TNF-alpha through its involvement in inflammation suggesting potential intervention points for modulating immune response in related diseases.
