Further Information
Alternate Names/Synonyms:
TIM4; TIMD4; T Cell Immunoglobulin and Mucin Domain-containing Protein 4; T Cell Membrane Protein 4
Biological Activity:
Measured by its ability to inhibit anti-CD3-induced proliferation of stimulated human T cells.
EClass:
32160000
Endotoxin:
<0.06EU/µg protein (LAL test; Lonza).
Form (Short):
solid
Formulation:
Lyophilized from 0.2µm-filtered solution in PBS.
Handling Advice:
Avoid freeze/thaw cycles.Centrifuge lyophilized vial before opening and reconstitution.
Long Description:
Protein. The extracellular domain of human Tim-4 (aa 25-315) is fused to the N-terminus of the Fc region of human IgG1. Source: CHO cells. Endotoxin content: <0.06EU/µg protein (LAL test; Lonza). Lyophilized from 0.2µm-filtered solution in PBS. Purity: >98% (SDS-PAGE). The TIM (T cell/transmembrane, immunoglobulin and mucin) family plays a critical role in regulating immune responses, including allergy, asthma, transplant tolerance, autoimmunity and the response to viral infections. The unique structure of TIM immunoglobulin variable region domains allows highly specific recognition of phosphatidylserine (PtdSer), exposed on the surface of apoptotic cells. TIM-4 (T cell; immunoglobulin; Mucin-4), also known as SMUCKLER, is a 60 kDa member of the TIM family of immune regulating proteins. TIM-4 is exclusively expressed on antigen-presenting cells, where it mediates phagocytosis of apoptotic cells and plays an important role in maintaining tolerance. TIM-4 binds specifically to TIM-1 which is also the cellular receptor for the hepatitis A virus, and has been implicated in the development of asthma. Among hematopoietic cells, TIM-1 is expressed on activated B and T cells, preferentially in the Th2 subset of CD4+ T cells. The interaction of TIM-4 with TIM-1 induces costimulatory and hyperproliferative signals in T cells.
