Mouse LAG-3, recombinant (C-6His)

Recombinant Mouse Lymphocyte Activation Gene 3 Protein is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Ser23-Leu442 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus. Protein function: Lymphocyte activation gene 3 protein: Inhibitory receptor on antigen activated T-cells (PubMed:12209638, PubMed:12421911, PubMed:12672063, PubMed:15100286, PubMed:15634887, PubMed:30580966). Delivers inhibitory signals upon binding to ligands, such as FGL1 (PubMed:30580966). FGL1 constitutes a major ligand of LAG3 and is responsible for LAG3 T-cell inhibitory function (PubMed:30580966). Following TCR engagement, LAG3 associates with CD3-TCR in the immunological synapse and directly inhibits T-cell activation (PubMed:12209638, PubMed:12421911, PubMed:12672063, PubMed:15100286, PubMed:15634887). May inhibit antigen-specific T-cell activation in synergy with PDCD1/PD-1, possibly by acting as a coreceptor for PDCD1/PD-1 (PubMed:21300912). Negatively regulates the proliferation, activation, effector function and homeostasis of both CD8(+) and CD4(+) T-cells (PubMed:12209638, PubMed:12421911, PubMed:12672063, PubMed:15100286, PubMed:15634887). Also mediates immune tolerance: constitutively expressed on a subset of regulatory T-cells (Tregs) and contributes to their suppressive function (PubMed:15485628). Also acts as a negative regulator of plasmacytoid dendritic cell (pDCs) activation (PubMed:19201841). Binds MHC class II (MHC-II), the precise role of MHC-II-binding is however unclear (PubMed:12209638, PubMed:12421911, PubMed:15634887). [The UniProt Consortium]
