CD80
Function
Costimulatory molecule that belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily that plays an important role in T-lymphocyte activation (PubMed:38467718). Acts as the primary auxiliary signal augmenting the MHC/TCR signal in naive T-cells together with the CD28 receptor which is constitutively expressed on the cell surface of T-cells (PubMed:12196291). In turn, activates different signaling pathways such as NF-kappa-B or MAPK leading to the production of different cytokines (PubMed:10438913). In addition, CD28/CD80 costimulatory signal stimulates glucose metabolism and ATP synthesis of T-cells by activating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway (PubMed:12121659). Acts also as a regulator of PDL1/PDCD1 interactions to limit excess engagement of PDL1 and its inhibitory role in immune responses (PubMed:36727298). Expressed on B-cells, plays a critical role in regulating interactions between B-cells and T-cells in both early and late germinal center responses, which are crucial for the generation of effective humoral immune responses (By similarity).
(Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for adenovirus subgroup B.
Post-translational modifications
Palmitoylated by ZDHHC20; palmitoylation protects CD80 from ubiquitin-mediated degradation, regulating the protein stability, and ensures its accurate plasma membrane localization.
Tissue Specificity
Expressed on activated B-cells, macrophages and dendritic cells.
Cellular localization
- Cell membrane
- Single-pass type I membrane protein
