Synonyms | Cd152 |
Function | Inhibitory receptor acting as a major negative regulator of T-cell responses. The affinity of CTLA4 for its natural B7 family ligands, CD80 and CD86, is considerably stronger than the affinity of their cognate stimulatory coreceptor CD28. |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P16410}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P16410} Note=Exists primarily an intracellular antigen whose surface expression is tightly regulated by restricted trafficking to the cell surface and rapid internalization. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P16410} |
Tissue Location | Widely expressed with highest levels in lymphoid tissues. |

Background
CTLA-4(Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte Antigen 4), also known as CD152, is a protein receptor that down regulates the immune system. It is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, which is expressed on the surface of Helper T cells and transmits an inhibitory signal to T cells. CTLA4 is similar to the T-cell co-stimulatory protein, CD28, and both molecules bind to CD80 and CD86, also called B7-1 and B7-2 respectively, on antigen-presenting cells. CTLA4 transmits an inhibitory signal to T cells, whereas CD28 transmits a stimulatory signal. Blockade of CTLA4 expression in vitro augmented HIV-specific CD4-positive T-cell function.
