CTLA-4 Protein, Mouse (Biotinylated, HEK293, His-Avi)
CTLA-4 is a key inhibitory receptor that serves as a major negative regulator of T cell responses in immune regulation. Its unique property is that its affinity to B7 ligands (CD80/CD86) is significantly higher than that of CD28. CTLA-4 Protein, Mouse (Biotinylated, HEK293, His-Avi) is the recombinant mouse-derived CTLA-4 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-Avi, C-His labeled tag.
- Species: Mouse
- Source: HEK293

Description
CTLA-4 is a key inhibitory receptor that serves as a major negative regulator of T cell responses in immune regulation. Its unique property is that its affinity to B7 ligands (CD80/CD86) is significantly higher than that of CD28. CTLA-4 Protein, Mouse (Biotinylated, HEK293, His-Avi) is the recombinant mouse-derived CTLA-4 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-Avi, C-His labeled tag.
Background
CTLA-4, a pivotal inhibitory receptor, acts as a primary negative regulator in T-cell responses, exerting its influence within the intricate network of immune modulation. This regulatory function arises from the distinct property of CTLA-4, showcasing significantly heightened affinity for its natural B7 family ligands, CD80 and CD86, in comparison to the cognate stimulatory coreceptor CD28. The homodimeric structure of CTLA-4, intricately linked by disulfide bonds, underscores its role as a molecular sentinel in immune regulation. Functionally, CTLA-4 binds avidly to CD80/B7-1 and CD86/B7.2, competitively engaging with these ligands to suppress T-cell activation and finely tune immune responses. Additionally, CTLA-4 interacts with ICOSLG, contributing to its multifaceted engagement in immune checkpoint pathways.
