Background Information
LIGHT, also known as TNFSF14, HVEML, or CD258, is a type II transmembrane protein that belongs to the TNF superfamily (PMID: 9462508). It is predominantly expressed in lymphoid tissues and produced by activated T cells and immature dendritic cells (DCs) (PMID: 9462508; 10754304). Through its two primary functional receptors HVEM (TNFRSF14) and lymphotoxin β receptor (LTβR), LIGHT signaling is involved in development and maintenance of lymphoid tissues, as well as innate and adaptive immune responses (PMID: 24575096; 26720335). In addition to the membrane form, LIGHT can also exist as a soluble form generated by cleavage of the extracellular portion of the membrane form.
