Human B7H7, 1 mg

B7-H7, also known as HHLA2 (HERV-H LTR-associating 2), is a member of the B7 family of immune regulatory proteins. Mature human B7-H7 consists of a 322 amino acid (aa) extracellular domain (ECD) with three immunoglobulin-like domains, a 21 aa transmembrane segment, and a 49 aa cytoplasmic domain. B7 H7 is constitutively expressed on monocytes and is up-regulated by LPS and IFN-gamma stimulation. It is expressed on LPS/IFN-gamma treated B cells but not on resting B cells. B7-H7 binds to cell surface determinants on resting and mature T cells, B cells, and monocytes as well as on immature and mature dendritic cells. Soluble B7-H7 inhibits the proliferation of activated CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and their production of IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, IL-5, IL-10, IL-13, IL-17A, and IL-22 (1-5).
