It has an approximate molecular mass of 50 kDa. B7-H4 expression is detected on the surface of various cells including B cells T cells monocytes and some cancer cells. Its expression is often inducible; immune cells can express B7-H4 in response to specific conditions or signals in the environment.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nB7-H4 acts as an immune checkpoint molecule that negatively regulates T cell immunity. It does not form a known complex with other proteins but instead interacts directly with T cells. By inhibiting T cell activation and proliferation B7-H4 contributes to the regulation of immune responses helping to maintain self-tolerance and prevent autoimmunity.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nB7-H4 is involved in the regulation of immune checkpoints prominently in the pathways related to immune tolerance and suppression. It plays a critical role in the pathways that modulate tumor evasion of the immune system. B7-H4 is related to other immune checkpoint proteins such as PD-L1 which are also pivotal in immune regulation and therapy targets.\u003cbr\u003e\nB7-H4 is connected to cancer progression and autoimmune conditions. Overexpression of B7-H4 in certain cancers such as ovarian and breast cancer associates with tumor immune evasion allowing tumors to grow unchecked by the immune system. Its expression links with proteins like CTLA-4 in maintaining immune suppression. B7-H4 modifications could serve as a potential target in cancer immunotherapy aiming to enhance the immune system's ability to combat malignancies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46855880245417,"sku":"ab243899","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab243899","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
