Human B7-H2 Protein, ECD, Fc-fusion, Biotinylated, Recombinant

Description

B7­H2 (B7 homolog 2), also known as CD275, B7RP1 (B7­related protein) and ICOSL (ICOS Ligand), is a single-pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the B7 family of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily.  Like other B7 family members, B7-H25 contains 1 Ig-like C2-type domain and 1 Ig-like V-type domain in the extracellular region. Among the family members, they share about 20-25% amino acid identity. B7-H2 is expressed on antigen presenting cells such as B cells, macrophages, monocytes, and dendritic cells. B7-H2 has been identified as the ligand for ICOS (also known as CD278), a member of the CD28/CTLA4 family of co-stimulatory receptors. The receptor binding of B7-H2 is mediated by the IgV domain and requires the IgC domain for maintaining the structural integrity of the protein.  The B7-H2/ICOS interaction plays roles in T cell dependent B cell activation and Th (T helper) cell differentiation, leading to both positive and negative effects on immune responses. In human, B7-H2 also binds to CD28 and CTLA4, and its interaction with CD28 can co-stimulate T cells. B7-H2 contributes to the development of allergic asthma and other autoimmune conditions. A soluble form of human B7­H2 is elevated in the circulation of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. In the thyroid, B7­H2 is up­regulated on thyrocytes during inflammation and promotes the production of thryoid hormones.  It is reported that mouse and human B7-H2 show cross­species binding to ICOS.
