A proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL), also known as tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 13 (TNFSF13), is a

TACI.[5][6] It is encoded by the TNFSF13 gene.[6]

Nomenclature

In the cluster of differentiation terminology, APRIL is designated CD256.

Function

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the

TNFRSF14/HVEM.[9]
Three alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene encoding distinct isoforms have been reported.

Interactions

TNFSF13 has been shown to

Clinical significance

APRIL is being explored as a target for autoimmune diseases and B cell malignancies.[12] At least one anti-APRIL monoclonal antibody has been announced to enter phase I clinical trials for multiple myeloma.[13]
