CD40 Ligand, also known as TNFSF5, CD154, TRAP, or gp39, is a 33-39 kDa type II transmembrane glycoprotein member of the TNF superfamily. Mature mouse CD40 Ligand consists of a 22 aa cytoplasmic domain, a transmembrane segment, and a 214 aa extracellular region. The extracellular domain of mouse CD40 Ligand shares 75% and 93% aa sequence identity with the human and rat proteins, respectively. CD40 Ligand is expressed as a homotrimer on platelets and activated T cells and B cells. It is up-regulated following stimulation of basophils, eosinophils, fibroblasts, mast cells, monocytes, natural killer cells, vascular endothelial cells, and smooth muscle cells. CD40 Ligand binds and activates CD40, which is expressed on the surface of B cells, dendritic cells, macrophages, monocytes, platelets, endothelial cells, and epithelial cells. The 18 kDa soluble form (aa 112-260)  arises from proteolytic processing and retains the ability to bind and activate CD40. Monomeric, dimeric, and trimeric forms of soluble CD40 Ligand bind to oligomeric CD40 on cell membranes. CD40 ligation by CD40 Ligand promotes B cell activation and T cell-dependent humoral responses.
