Summary
TIGIT (T cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains, HGNC:26838) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 3q13.31, encoding T-cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains (Q495A1). Inhibitory receptor that plays a role in the modulation of immune responses.
This gene encodes a member of the PVR (poliovirus receptor) family of immunoglobin proteins. The product of this gene is expressed on several classes of T cells including follicular B helper T cells (TFH). The protein has been shown to bind PVR with high affinity; this binding is thought to assist interactions between TFH and dendritic cells to regulate T cell dependent B cell responses.

Function. Inhibitory receptor that plays a role in the modulation of immune responses. Suppresses T-cell activation by promoting the generation of mature immunoregulatory dendritic cells. Upon binding to its ligands PVR/CD155 or NECTIN2/CD112, which are expressed on antigen-presenting cells, sends inhibitory signals to the T-cell or NK cell. Mechanistically, interaction with ligand leads to phosphorylation of the cytoplasmic tail by Src family tyrosine kinases such as FYN or LCK, allowing subsequent binding to adapter GRB2 and SHIP1/INPP5D. In turn, inhibits PI3K and MAPK signaling cascades. In addition, associates with beta-arrestin-2/ARRB2 to recruit SHIP1/INPP5D that suppresses autoubiquitination of TRAF6 and subsequently inhibits NF-kappa-B signaling pathway. Also acts as a receptor for NECTIN4 to inhibit NK cell cytotoxicity.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer in cis; binds with high affinity to PVR, forming a heterotetrameric assembly of two TIGIT and two PVR molecules. Binds with lower affinity to NECTIN2 and NECTIN3. Interacts with GRB2. Interacts with NECTIN4.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane.
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).
Domain organisation. Contains 1 copy of a cytoplasmic motif that is referred to as the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitor motif (ITIM). This motif is involved in modulation of cellular responses. The phosphorylated ITIM motif can bind the SH2 domain of several SH2-containing phosphatases.
