Biological function summary
Tim-2 plays an important role in immune regulation and functions as a part of the broader family of T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain proteins. It does not typically form part of a complex but interacts with phosphatidylserine a phospholipid exposed during cell apoptosis. This interaction suggests Tim-2 has roles in recognizing apoptotic cells and may influence their removal by macrophages. Additionally it affects lymphocyte activity possibly by modulating T-cell proliferation and cytokine release.
Pathways
Tim-2 influences immune responses and cell survival pathways. It connects to the phosphatidylserine-mediated clearance pathway a critical component of maintaining tissue homeostasis and preventing inflammation by promoting the clearance of dying cells. Tim-2 also interacts with related proteins such as Tim-3 which shares similar ligand-binding properties and roles in immune response modulation.

General info
Function
Cell surface glycoprotein that participates in iron homeostasis in the liver, the kidney, the retina and oligodendrocytes by acting as a receptor of H-ferritin (PubMed : 16203866, PubMed : 33065090). Mechanistically, mediates iron-containing ferritin uptake via an endocytic pathway, trafficking to endosomes and subsequently to lysosomes (PubMed : 16043519, PubMed : 21886823). Plays also an important role in the regulation of Th2 immunity (PubMed : 16043519). Receptor for SEMA4A involved in the regulation of T-cell function, enhancing T-cell activation (PubMed : 12374982).
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. TIM family.
