Tox also defines a small subfamily of proteins that include Tox2, Tox3, and Tox4, all of which are highly conserved in vertebrate species but have unique tissue expression patterns and functions (1,2). Tox plays a key role in T cell development in the thymus during positive selection (3-5). A study in Tox-deficient mice also revealed a requirement for Tox in CD4 T cell and NK cell lineage development, including NKT cells, FoxP3 T regulatory T cells, and lymphoid tissue-inducer (LTi) cells (6-8). Although Tox expression is primarily restricted to developing immune cells in normal tissues, Tox is induced by high antigen stimulation during chronic viral infection or cancer, regulating T cell persistence and exhaustion (9-12). Tox has also been shown to be aberrantly expressed in cutaneous T cell lymphomas (13-14).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nKIAA0808; thymocyte selection associated high mobility group box; thymocyte selection-associated high mobility group box; Thymocyte selection-associated high mobility group box protein TOX; Thymus high mobility group box protein TOX; TOX; TOX1\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nSource\/Isotype: Rat IgG1","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46800287531177,"sku":"81022T","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-81022t","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
