Rabbit anti-Human ICOSLG Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

O75144

Target Species

Human

Target Name

ICOSLG

Target Full Name

ICOS ligand

Target Function

Ligand for the T-cell-specific cell surface receptor ICOS. Acts as a costimulatory signal for T-cell proliferation and cytokine secretion; induces also B-cell proliferation and differentiation into plasma cells. Could play an important role in mediating local tissue responses to inflammatory conditions, as well as in modulating the secondary immune response by co-stimulating memory T-cell function.

Target Subcellular Location

Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.

Target Protein Families

Immunoglobulin superfamily, BTN/MOG family

Target Tissue Specificity

Isoform 1 is widely expressed (brain, heart, kidney, liver, lung, pancreas, placenta, skeletal muscle, bone marrow, colon, ovary, prostate, testis, lymph nodes, leukocytes, spleen, thymus and tonsil), while isoform 2 is detected only in lymph nodes, leuko
