Function | Binds with high affinity to the poliovirus receptor (PVR) which causes increased secretion of IL10 and decreased secretion of IL12B and suppresses T-cell activation by promoting the generation of mature immunoregulatory dendritic cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19011627}. |
Subcellular Location | Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19011627}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19011627}. |
Tissue Specificity | Expressed at low levels on peripheral memory and regulatory CD4+ T-cells and NK cells and is up-regulated following activation of these cells (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19011627}. |
