The human CD3/T cell receptor (TcR) complex is made up of the CD3 proteins (gamma, delta, 2 epsilon) and teh zeta-chain in association with either alpha/beta or gamma/delta proteins of the TcR. The TcR recognizes antigens in association with MHC molecules after which protein chains of the CD3 complex mediate activation signals triggered by TcR antigen binding. CD3 is expressed on greater than 95% of circulating human peripheral T cells.

IDO catalyzes the first and rate-limiting step in the main pathway of human tryptophan catabolism, the kynurenine pathway. Proinflammatory mediators, such as endotoxin and IFN-gamma induce the expression of IDO in several tissues. IDO-dependent suppression of T-cell responses might function as natural immunoregulatory mechanism. Physiological IDO activity has been implicated in T-cell tolerance to tumors, dysfunctional selftolerance in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice, and as a protective negative regulator in autoimmune disorders.

Human CD272 (BTLA; B and T Lymphocyte Attenuator) is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and has sequence homology to PD-1 and CTLA-4. It is expressed on T and B lymphocytes and other hemopoetic lineages. Engagement of this molecule by its ligand CD270 (HVEM) can downregulate activated T and B cell responses. CD272 levels on antigen specific CD8+ T cells have been reported to decrease in viral specific, but not melanoma specific activated lines. Polymorphism of the CD272 molecule has been linked to rheumatoid arthritis.

Glucocorticoid induced TNF receptor family related gene (GITR; AITR) is a type 1 228 amino acid transmembrane protein that has been designated TNFRSF18. GITR is expressed mainly by CD4+ CD25+ T lymphocytes. Its engagement by antibodies or its ligand (GITRL) induces a costimulatory signal which can break T cell suppression. GITR has been implicated as a regulatory mechanism in anti-parasitic immune resposes, and is involved with macrophages activation in atherosclerotic plaque formation.

TRAM functions in LPS-TLR4 signaling to regulate the MYD88-independent pathway during the innate immune response to LPS. It is also involved in IL-1-triggered NF-kappaB activation, functioning upstream of IRAK1, IRAK2, TRAF6 and IKBKB. TRAM physically bridges TLR4 and TICAM-1 and functionally transmits LPS-TRL4 signal to TICAM-1. It is expressed in spleen, prostate, testis, uterus, small intestine, colon, peripheral blood leukocytes, heart, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle and pancreas.

CTRP5 (C1qTNF-related protein 5; C1QTNF5) belongs to a highly conserved family of adiponectin paralogs. CTRP5 mediates activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in muscle and liver cells, thereby regulating glucose and lipid metabolism. Serum levels of CTRP5 are significantly higher in obese/diabetic animal models compared to normal controls. Furthermore, CTRP5 may be a putative biomarker for mitochondrial dysfunction. Defects in C1QTNF5 are a cause of late-onset retinal degeneration (LORD).

Retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4; RBP) is a 21kDa secreted protein, a member of the lipocalin family and is known as the primary transporter of retinol (vitamin A) to tissues. A recent report revealed RBP4 as an adipokine linking glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) suppression in adipose tissue to insulin. Elevated human and mouse serum RBP4 levels are associated with insulin resistance and its severity, obesity and certain components of metabolic syndrome. Furthermore, human serum RBP4 levels are closely related to renal function.

Netrin-1 controls guidance of CNS commissural axons and peripheral motor axons. Its association with either DCC or some UNC5 receptors will lead to axon attraction or repulsion, respectively. It also serve as a survival factor via its association with its receptors which prevent the initiation of apoptosis. Netrin-1 is also Involved in tumorigenesis by regulating apoptosis. Netrin-1 promotes atherosclerosis by retaining macrophages in the artery wall. Netrin-1 also governs induced pluripotent stem cell (iPS) formation and improves reprogramming efficiency of human and mouse somatic cells by limiting apoptosis mediated by Netrin-1 receptors DCC or UNC5b.

The LTbetaR activates two different NF-kappaB pathways that lead to distinct patterns of gene induction, including selected chemokines, and the cytokine BAFF, which is essential for the survival of mature B lymphocytes. LTbetaR activates the classical NF-kappaB (relA/p50) pathway, like the type 1 TNF receptor (TNFR1), that regulates proinflammatory genes, like the chemokine MIP1beta. However, LTbetaR, unlike TNFR1, also activates the processing of p100 to form RelB/p52 complexes, which activate genes involved in lymphoid organ formation and lymphocyte survival.

The inducible costimulator CD278 (ICOS) is similar to human CD28 (24% homology) and plays an analogous role in the T cell activation process. Signaling through CD278 is particularly important in progression of TH2 immune response. The receptor for human CD278 (ICOS) is CD275 (GL50), a member of the B7 family sharing ~20% homology with CD80 (B7-1) and CD86 (B7-2). Blockade of the CD278-CD275 interaction in mice improves allograft survival and reduces EAE.

Vaspin (Visceral adipose tissue-derived serpin; Serpin A12), a serine protease inhibitor (serpin), is an insulin-sensitizing adipocytokine that has been isolated from both visceral and subcutaneous white adipose tissue. Based on recent findings, vaspin is suggested to regulate immune responses and inflammation and was found to be correlated with various metabolic parameters. Vaspin may represent a novel biomarker for obesity and impaired insulin sensitivity and might serve as a new_x000D_ therapeutic target of metabolic syndrome.

FGF-23 (Fibroblast growth factor 23) is a regulator of phosphate homeostasis. It upregulates EGR1 expression in the presence of KLBy. Acts directly on the parathyroid to decrease PTH secretion. Regulates the vitamin-D metabolism. Negatively regulates osteoblast differentiation and matrix mineralization. Defects in FGF-23 are the cause of autosomal dominant hypophosphataemic rickets (ADHR) and of hyperphosphatemic familial tumoral calcinosis (HFTC).

The transmembrane and secreted protein delta-like 1 homolog (DLK1; Protein delta homolog 1; Preadipocyte factor 1; Pref-1) belongs to the EGF-like family. It can be cleaved by a tumor necrosis factor-alpha converting enzyme (TACE) to release a soluble form. DLK1 plays important roles in regulating cell differentiation such as adipogenesis and osteogenesis. Membrane-bound DLK1 promotes hypertrophic myotube formation, whereas soluble DLK1 inhibits myotube formation. The soluble form of DLK1 inhibits preadipocyte differentiation, while membrane DLK1 represses preadipocyte proliferation. DLK1 is also associated with tumor invasion.

Omentin (Intelectin-1) is highly expressed in omental adipose tissue, small intestine and various other tissues. Omentin has no effect on basal glucose uptake but enhances insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in adipocytes. It increases AKT phosphorylation in the absence and presence of insulin. It was suggested to play a role in the defense system against microorganisms by recognizing carbohydrate chains of pathogens and bacterial components containing galactofuranosyl residues.
