PD-L2 (Aglyco-Fc-Fusion)

PD-L2 is a member of the B7 family. Upregulation of PD-L2 is primarily triggered via Th2 cell lineage toward the inflammatory macrophages. P7103G contains the human PD-L2 ECD fused with an aglycosylated mouse IgG2a Fc domain.

Interacting protein(s): PD-1 (P7099F, P7099G)

Description

PD-L2 was identified by searching the human EST database with the murine PD-L2 homolog. Human and mouse PD-L2 share 70% amino acid identity, this is similar to those of PD-L1, 69%. Together, there are a total of 5 proteins in B7 family, each with known respective counter receptor(s). All share similar structural organization: a signal peptide, an IgV domain, an IgC domain, a transmembrane region, and a short cytoplasmic tail.

While the human and mouse PD-L1 proteins an identical cytoplasmic tail, human and mouse PD-L2 proteins have very different cytoplasmic tail. Yet, both genes are located on human 9q24.2 with the same orientation and are only 42 kb apart. An alternatively spliced form of PD-L2 missing the IgV region was identified and shown not bind to PD-1. PD-L2, but not PD-L1, mRNA was found in human pancreas, lung and liver. In contrast, PD-L1, but not PD-L2 is found in human fetal liver.

Similar to singals through CTLA-4, PD-1/PD-L2 interaction was shown to suppress TCR-mediated cell proliferation and cytokine production via the cross-talk of cytoplasmic ITIM domain of PD-1. Since PD-L1 and PD-L2 are up-regulated in a variety of tumor cell lines, PD-1 is considered a great target research for anti-tumor therapeutics.
