Background
| Relevance | T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-3 (TIM3), also called hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 2 (HAVCR2), is a transmembrane glycoprotein of the TIM family of immune regulating molecules and plays an important role in the Th1-mediated immune response. TIM3 is expressed on the Th1 cells, CD8 T-cells, monocytes, and dendritic cells, but not on Th2 cells. TIM3 expressed by monocytes and dendritic cells facilitates phagocytosis of apoptotic cells and up-regulates cross-presentation of apoptotic cell-associated antigens through interaction with phosphatidylserine. Engagement of TIM3 by its ligand galectin-9 induces a range of immunosuppressive functions which enhance immune tolerance and inhibit anti-tumor immunity. Stimulation of TIM3 with an agonistic antibody promotes inflammation through the activation of innate immune cells. TIM3 is also regarded as a potential target molecule for immunotherapy. TIM3 and programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) as two important coinhibitory regulators of T cell responses, have been implicated with the T-cell dysfunction or exhaustion associated with chronic HBV infection including HBV-related HCC. |
| Function | Cell surface receptor implicated in modulating innate and adaptive immune responses. Generally accepted to have an inhibiting function. Reports on stimulating functions suggest that the activity may be influenced by the cellular context and/or the respective ligand |
| Involvement in disease | |
| Subcellular Location | Isoform 1: Membrane, Single-pass type I membrane protein, Cell junction |
| Protein Families | Immunoglobulin superfamily, TIM family |
| Tissue Specificity | Expressed in T-helper type 1 lymphocytes. Not expressed by naive T-cells but up-regulated as they differentiate into T-helper-1 cells. Also expressed by differentiated type 1 CD8+ cytotoxic T-cells. Expressed on peritoneal exudate macrophages, monocytes, and splenic dendritic cells (DCs). Expression on natural killer (NK) cells is inversely associated with IFN-gamma production during the initial 24 h of LPS-induced endotoxic shock. Expressed on mast cells. |
