UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: Q9EP73 (Q9EP73)
Gene Name:
Cd274
Organism: Mus musculus (Mouse)
Function: Plays a critical role in induction and maintenance of immune tolerance to self (PubMed:11238124). As a ligand for the inhibitory receptor PDCD1/PD-1, modulates the activation threshold of T-cells and limits T-cell effector response (PubMed:11238124). Through a yet unknown activating receptor, may costimulate T-cell subsets that predominantly produce interleukin-10 (IL10) (PubMed:11015443, PubMed:12719480) The PDCD1-mediated inhibitory pathway is exploited by tumors to attenuate anti-tumor immunity and escape destruction by the immune system, thereby facilitating tumor survival (PubMed:12218188, PubMed:27281199). The interaction with PDCD1/PD-1 inhibits cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) effector function (PubMed:12218188). The blockage of the PDCD1-mediated pathway results in the reversal of the exhausted T-cell phenotype and the normalization of the anti-tumor response, providing a rationale for cancer immunotherapy (PubMed:12218188)
