Biochem/physiol Actions

The CTLA4 (cytotoxic T lymphocyte associated-4) gene encodes a membrane receptor on cytotoxic T-cells that functions in T-cell apoptosis. It is a strong inhibitor of T-cell activation. It may be associated with type 1 diabetes. The gene has been identified as a susceptibility locus for Graves’; disease. It may be involved in the pathogenesis of autoimmune disorders.
