Description
Product Characteristics:
Lymphocyte-activation protein 3 (LAG-3), also known as CD223, belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily and contains 4 extracellular Ig-like domains. LAG-3 binds to HLA class-II antigens and is involved in lymphocyte activation. It is found on the cell surface of activated NK and T-lymphocytes. The sequence data, exon/intron organization, and chromosomal localization all indicate a close relationship of LAG-3 to CD4.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane
Synonyms: CD223, Lymphocyte activation gene 3 protein, LAG-3, Lag3
Target Information: Lymphocyte-activation protein 3 belongs to Ig superfamily and contains 4 extracellular Ig-like domains. The LAG3 gene contains 8 exons. The sequence data, exon/intron organization, and chromosomal localization all indicate a close relationship of LAG3 to CD4. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
