is a transmembrane glycoprotein expressed by B lymphocytes, but also detected on other cell types or tumors, particularly carcinomas. As for CD40L, CD40 is part of a large protein family, the TNF-receptor family. The CD40L trimer is expected to bind three CD40 molecules, very much in the same way the TNFbeta trimer binds three TNF-55R receptors.
