ICOSLG

Gene
Icoslg
Protein
ICOS ligand
Organism
Mus musculus
Length
322 amino acids
Function
Ligand for the T-cell-specific cell surface receptor ICOS. Acts as a costimulatory signal for T-cell proliferation and cytokine secretion; induces also B-cell proliferation and differentiation into plasma cells. Could play an important role in mediating local tissue responses to inflammatory conditions, as well as in modulating the secondary immune response by co-stimulating memory T-cell function. During pregnancy, may function to skew the cytokine of maternal T-cells toward immunoprotective Th2 phenotype.
Similarity
Belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. BTN/MOG family.
Mass
