Ctla4 - cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 Gene

Predicted to enable signaling receptor activity. Involved in negative regulation of T cell proliferation and negative regulation of immune response. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus; clathrin-coated endocytic vesicle; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be integral component of plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of protein complex involved in cell adhesion. Predicted to be active in external side of plasma membrane. Used to study myocarditis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including carcinoma (multiple); hematologic Cancer (multiple); hepatitis B; kidney disease (multiple); and primary immunodeficiency disease (multiple). Orthologous to human CTLA4 (cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated protein 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
