Background InformationLymphocyte activation gene 3 protein (UniProt: P18627; also known as LAG-3, CD223) is encoded by the LAG3 (also known as FDC) gene (Gene ID: 3902) in human. LAG3 is a single-pass type I membrane glycoprotein that is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-22), which is subsequently cleaved off to generate the mature form that contains an extracellular domain (aa 23-450), a transmembrane domain (aa 451-471), and a cytoplasmic domain (aa 472-525). It contains three Ig-like C2-type domains and one Ig-like V-type domain. LAG3 is primarily expressed in activated T-cells and in a subset of natural killer cells. Its expression is induced by IL-2, IL-7, and IL-12 on activated T-cells. Almost all CD4+ cells expressing LAG3 also express CD25. However, only about 10% of CD4+ cells lacking LAG3 express CD25. LAG3 serves as an inhibitory receptor on antigen activated T-cells and delivers inhibitory signals upon binding to ligands. Fibrinogen-like protein 1 (FGL1) is shown to be a major ligand for LAG3. LAG3 is reported to suppresses homeostasis proliferation (HP) of CD4 and CD8 lymphocytes and some dendritic cell populations. Mice deficient in LAG3 display enhanced HP. Following TCR engagement, it is shown to associate with CD3-TCR in the immunological synapse and directly inhibits T-cell activation. LAG3 can be proteolytically cleaved by ADAM10 and ADAM17 within the connecting peptide region to generate a secretory form (sLAG3). ADAM10 is reported to mediate constitutive cleavage, but cleavage increases following T-cell activation. On the other hand, cleavage by ADAM17 is induced by TCR signaling in a Protein Kinase C theta (PRKCQ)-dependent manner. (Ref.: Scurr, M., et al. (2014).
