Background
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily, and TIM family of proteins. CD4-positive T helper lymphocytes can be divided into types 1 (Th1) and 2 (Th2) on the basis of their cytokine secretion patterns. Th1 cells are involved in cell-mediated immunity to intracellular pathogens and delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions, whereas, Th2 cells are involved in the control of extracellular helminthic infections and the promotion of atopic and allergic diseases. This protein is a Th1-specific cell surface protein that regulates macrophage activation, and inhibits Th1-mediated auto- and alloimmune responses, and promotes immunological tolerance.

Function
disease:Genetic variation in HAVCR2 may influence susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) [MIM:180300]. RA is an inflammatory disease, primarily of the joints, with autoimmune features and a complex genetic component. It is characterized by inflammation of synovial tissues and the formation of rheumatoid pannus, which is capable of eroding adjacent cartilage and bone, causing subsequent joint destruction.,function:Regulates macrophage activation. Inhibits T-helper type 1 lymphocyte (Th1)-mediated auto- and alloimmune responses and promotes immunological tolerance. May be also involved in T-cell homing. Receptor for LGALS9.,similarity:Belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. TIM family.,similarity:Contains 1 Ig-like V-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain.,tissue specificity:T-helper type 1 lymphocyte (Th1)-specific.,
