Supplementary information

B7-H4 also known as VTCN1 or B7x is a member of the B7 family of immunoregulatory proteins. 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.
Biological function summary

B7-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.

Pathways

B7-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.

B7-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.

Target data

Negatively regulates T-cell-mediated immune response by inhibiting T-cell activation, proliferation, cytokine production and development of cytotoxicity. When expressed on the cell surface of tumor macrophages, plays an important role, together with regulatory T-cells (Treg), in the suppression of tumor-associated antigen-specific T-cell immunity. Involved in promoting epithelial cell transformation.
