Function

Lymphocyte activation gene 3 protein: Inhibitory receptor on antigen activated T-cells (PubMed:20421648, PubMed:7805750, PubMed:8647185). Delivers inhibitory signals upon binding to ligands, such as FGL1 (By similarity). FGL1 constitutes a major ligand of LAG3 and is responsible for LAG3 T-cell inhibitory function (By similarity). Following TCR engagement, LAG3 associates with CD3-TCR in the immunological synapse and directly inhibits T-cell activation (By similarity). May inhibit antigen-specific T-cell activation in synergy with PDCD1/PD-1, possibly by acting as a coreceptor for PDCD1/PD-1 (By similarity). Negatively regulates the proliferation, activation, effector function and homeostasis of both CD8(+) and CD4(+) T-cells (PubMed:20421648, PubMed:7805750, PubMed:8647185). Also mediates immune tolerance: constitutively expressed on a subset of regulatory T-cells (Tregs) and contributes to their suppressive function (By similarity). Also acts as a negative regulator of plasmacytoid dendritic cell (pDCs) activation (By similarity). Binds MHC class II (MHC-II); the precise role of MHC-II-binding is however unclear (PubMed:8647185). Secreted lymphocyte activation gene 3 protein. May function as a ligand for MHC class II (MHC-II) on antigen-presenting cells (APC), promoting APC activation/maturation and driving Th1 immune response.

Activity summary

LAG-3 also known as CD223 is a transmembrane protein with a mass of approximately 70 kDa. It acts as a checkpoint molecule similar to CTLA-4 and PD-1 in the immune system. LAG-3 is expressed on activated T cells natural killer cells and some dendritic cells. It interacts with its ligand MHC class II leading to inhibition of cellular proliferation and cytokine secretion an important part of immune response regulation.

Biological function summary

LAG-3 is involved in maintaining immune homeostasis and preventing autoimmunity. It is not part of a complex but works in synergy with other immune checkpoint molecules. When interacting with MHC class II LAG-3 transmits inhibitory signals that attenuate immune cell responses. Its role in immune regulation helps to balance immune activation and tolerance which is essential for preventing tissue damage while protecting against pathogens.

Pathways

The inhibitory role of LAG-3 integrates into the T cell receptor (TCR) signaling pathway and is also linked to the PD-1 signaling pathway. In TCR signaling LAG-3 negatively regulates T cell activation. LAG-3 is functionally related to proteins like PD-1 and CTLA-4 sharing similar roles in immune checkpoint pathways that are critical for maintaining immune balance.

Associated diseases and disorders

LAG-3 has links to cancer and autoimmune diseases. In cancer LAG-3 expression on tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes correlates with immune evasion by tumors. This relationship appears in various cancers including melanoma and renal cell carcinoma. In autoimmune diseases LAG-3's expression on regulatory T cells helps control conditions such as multiple sclerosis. It collaborates with CTLA-4 in modulating immune responses that prevent excessive immune activation and tissue damage associated with autoimmunity.

    Flow Cytometry - Anti-LAG-3 antibody [11E3] (ab40465)

    Overlay histogram showing Jurkat cells stained with ab40465 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab40465, 1μg/1x106 cells) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H&L) (Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) ab150113) at 1/2000 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was mouse IgG1 [ICIGG1] (Mouse IgG1, Kappa Monoclonal [B11/6] - Isotype Control ab91353, 1μg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Unlabelled sample (blue line) was also used as a control. Acquisition of >5,000 events were collected using a 20mW Argon ion laser (488nm) and 525/30 bandpass filter.
