| has gloss | eng: Programmed Death 1, or PD-1, is a Type I membrane protein of 268 amino acids. PD-1 is a member of the extended CD28/CTLA-4 family of T cell regulators . The protein's structure includes an extracellular IgV domain followed by a transmembrane region and an intracellular tail. The intracellular tail contains two phosphorylation sites located in an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif and an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based switch motif, which suggests that PD-1 negatively regulates TCR signals . This is consistent with binding of SHP-1 and SHP-2 phosphatases to the cytoplasmic tail of PD-1 upon ligand binding. PD-1 is expressed on the surface of activated T cells, B cells, and macrophages ,suggesting that compared to CTLA-4, PD-1 more broadly negatively regulates immune responses. |
