Summary
Involved in negative regulation of T cell proliferation. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; clathrin-coated endocytic vesicle; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of protein complex involved in cell adhesion. Predicted to be active in external side of plasma membrane. Used to study myocarditis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including carcinoma (multiple); graft-versus-host disease; hematologic cancer (multiple); kidney disease (multiple); and primary immunodeficiency disease (multiple). Orthologous to human CTLA4 (cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated protein 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
