Mouse PD-1 Protein, hFc Tag

Recombinant mouse PD-1 protein with C-terminal human Fc tag. Mouse PD-1(Leu25-Gln167) hFc(Glu99-Ala330), Protein function: Inhibitory receptor on antigen activated T-cells that plays a critical role in induction and maintenance of immune tolerance to self (PubMed:10485649, PubMed:11698646, PubMed:11209085, PubMed:21300912). Delivers inhibitory signals upon binding to ligands, such as CD274/PDCD1L1 and CD273/PDCD1LG2 (PubMed:11015443, PubMed:11224527, PubMed:22641383, PubMed:18287011, PubMed:18641123). Following T-cell receptor (TCR) engagement, PDCD1 associates with CD3-TCR in the immunological synapse and directly inhibits T-cell activation (PubMed:22641383). Suppresses T-cell activation through the recruitment of PTPN11/SHP-2: following ligand-binding, PDCD1 is phosphorylated within the ITSM motif, leading to the recruitment of the protein tyrosine phosphatase PTPN11/SHP-2 that mediates dephosphorylation of key TCR proximal signaling molecules, such as ZAP70, PRKCQ/PKCtheta and CD247/CD3zeta (PubMed:11698646, PubMed:22641383). The PDCD1-mediated inhibitory pathway is exploited by tumors to attenuate anti-tumor immunity and facilitate tumor survival. [The UniProt Consortium]
