Name :
Human TIM3/HAVCR2 Protein, ECD (Extracellular Domain), Fc-fusion, Recombinant
Description :
TIM3 (T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain3), also known as HAVCR2, is a single-pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein of the TIM family of Ig superfamily. Like other family members, TIM-3 contains one Iglike Vtype domain and a Ser/Thrrich mucin stalk domain in the extracellular region. An alternatively spliced isoform is truncated within the mucinlike stalk. TIM-3 is selectively expressed on Th1 (T-helper type 1) cells but not on Th2 cells. Th1 cells produce cytokines (IFN-γ, interleukin-2, TNF-α and lymphotoxin) associated with cell-mediated immune responses against intracellular pathogens, delayed-type hypersensitivity, and induction of organ-specific autoimmunity. TIM3 is upregulated on activated myeloid cells and T cells. TIM-3 regulates macrophage activation and inhibits Th1-mediated auto- and allo-immune responses to promote immunological tolerance. It may be also involved in T-cell homing. Galectin9 has been identified as a ligand for TIM-3. The binding of Galectin-9 to TM-3 enhances immune tolerance and inhibits antitumor immunity. It can alternatively trigger immune stimulatory effects, such as the co-activation of NK cell cytotoxicity. TIM3 dampens inflammation by enabling the phagocytosis of apoptotic cells and the crosspresentation of apoptotic cell antigens. Dysregulation of the Galectin-9/TIM-3 pathway is implicated in many chronic autoimmune conditions in human, such as multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus erythematosus.
Gene Symbol :
The recombinant human TIM-3-Fc fusion protein is expressed as a 409 amino acid protein consisting of Ser22 – Gly202 region of TIM-3 (UniProt accession #Q8TDQ0) and a C-terminal Fc fusion from human IgG1, which exists as a dimer under non-reducing condition.
