Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Lymphocyte activation gene 3 (LAG-3; CD223) plays an important role in negatively regulating T cell proliferation, function and homeostasis. It is required for maximal natural and induced regulatory T cell (Treg) function. LAG-3 is closely related to the T cell co-receptor CD4 and binds to MHC class II molecules but with a significantly higher affinity than CD4._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Solution in PBS._x000D_ Other Notes_x000D_ The sequence coding for the 4 extracellular Ig-like domains of mouse LAG-3 (D1-D4) is fused to the Fc portion of mouse IgG2a (hinge-CH2-CH3).
