It belongs to the TIM family of proteins which includes TIM 1 TIM 2 and TIM 3. TIM 4 weighs approximately 70 kDa and is mainly expressed on antigen-presenting cells including dendritic cells and macrophages. This protein plays an important role in immune response through its ability to recognize phosphatidylserine on apoptotic cells facilitating their clearance.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nThe function of TIM 4 extends to regulating immune homeostasis and tolerance. TIM 4 does not possess signaling motifs itself but often associates with other adaptor proteins to exert its biological effects. It acts independently or forms part of complexes that modulate cell signaling events influencing the outcome of immune responses. The protein plays important roles in maintaining the delicate balance of immune activation and suppression which is critical to preventing autoimmunity.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nTIM 4 interaction occurs in pathways like the phosphatidylserine-mediated phagocytosis pathway which involves clearance of apoptotic cells. TIM 4 engages with phosphatidylserine a process important to maintaining tissue homeostasis and preventing inflammation. It works alongside other proteins in similar pathways including TIM 3 where together they mediate distinct and overlapping cellular processes involved in immune regulation.\u003cbr\u003e\nTIM 4 presents significant implications in conditions including autoimmune diseases and cancer. Aberrant expression or function of TIM 4 associates with autoimmune disorders where it may contribute to the insufficient clearance of apoptotic cells subsequently promoting autoimmunity. In cancer altered TIM 4 activity can influence tumor progression by affecting immune evasion mechanisms. As TIM 4 interacts with TIM 3 these proteins together play roles in the development and progression of these diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843909275817,"sku":"ab271767","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab271767","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
