This gene encodes a type I membrane protein that is a
member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. This protein is expressed
by antigen-presenting cells, and it is the ligand for two proteins
at the cell surface of T cells, CD28 antigen and cytotoxic
T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4. Binding of this protein with
CD28 antigen is a costimulatory signal for activation of the
T-cell. Binding of this protein with cytotoxic
T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 negatively regulates T-cell
activation and diminishes the immune response. Alternative splicing
results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
Additional transcript variants have been described, but their
full-length sequences have not been determined. [provided by
