Human TIGIT (T-cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains) is a Type I transmembrane protein, also known as VSIG9 and VSTM3. TIGIT dimerization on the cell surface is a key mechanism in regulating immune responses. The recombinant TIGIT dimer protein is a cis-homodimer (CSP-24028-03) and contains a TIGIT extracellular domain (UniProt# Q495A1, amino acids Met22-Phe141) with a tandem His-Avi tag at the C-terminus. This protein is expressed in HEK293 cells. The TIGIT dimer-His-Avi protein is bioactive and can bind to Nectin-4 and CD155. It also binds to TIGIT-specific antibodies. This TIGIT dimer can be used as an antigen for in vitro assays and antibody screening, targeting more conformational epitopes.

Background

Human TIGIT (T-cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains) is also known as VSIG9 (V-set and immunoglobulin domain-containing protein 9) and VSTM3 (V-set and transmembrane domain-containing protein 3). TIGIT is a type 1 membrane protein containing an immunoglobulin variable (Ig-V) domain, a transmembrane domain and cytoplasmic domain. TIGIT is an immune receptor present on peripheral memory and regulatory CD4+ T cells and natural killer (NK) cells. TIGIT binds to CD155 (the poliovirus receptor, PVR) with high affinity and binds to CD112 (PVRL2) with lower affinity. Nectin-4 is also a ligand for TIGIT. TIGIT’s action is highly dependent on its dimerization at the cell surface. TIGIT plays a role in immune suppression and is a therapeutic target for diseases where immune modulation is critical, including cancer and autoimmune diseases.
