Synonyms | B7H3 |
Function | May participate in the regulation of T-cell-mediated immune response. May play a protective role in tumor cells by inhibiting natural-killer mediated cell lysis as well as a role of marker for detection of neuroblastoma cells. May be involved in the development of acute and chronic transplant rejection and in the regulation of lymphocytic activity at mucosal surfaces. Could also play a key role in providing the placenta and fetus with a suitable immunological environment throughout pregnancy. Both isoform 1 and isoform 2 appear to be redundant in their ability to modulate CD4 T-cell responses. Isoform 2 is shown to enhance the induction of cytotoxic T-cells and selectively stimulates interferon gamma production in the presence of T-cell receptor signaling. |
Cellular Location | Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein |
Tissue Location | Ubiquitous but not detectable in peripheral blood lymphocytes or granulocytes. Weakly expressed in resting monocytes Expressed in dendritic cells derived from monocytes. Expressed in epithelial cells of sinonasal tissue. Expressed in extravillous trophoblast cells and Hofbauer cells of the first trimester placenta and term placenta. |

Background
CD276, also known as B7-H3, was initially identified as a member of the B7 family of proteins through its homology with previously identified B7 molecules (1). CD276 mRNA is widely expressed, but its protein expression is usually rather low (2). CD276 has been shown to play a role in both the costimulation as well as the coinhibition of T cell response (3). In a similar fashion, CD276 plays a critical role in the control of antitumor immune responses in some cases, while in others appears to mediate antitumor immunity (4). It thus joins other immune checkpoint proteins as a possible therapeutic target for at least a subset of cancers.
