GeneCards Summary for ICOS Gene

ICOS (Inducible T Cell Costimulator) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with ICOS include Immunodeficiency, Common Variable, 1 and Common Variable Immunodeficiency. Among its related pathways are RET signaling and Signaling by GPCR.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Summary for ICOS Gene

  • Enhances all basic T-cell responses to a foreign antigen, namely proliferation, secretion of lymphokines, up-regulation of molecules that mediate cell-cell interaction, and effective help for antibody secretion by B-cells. Essential both for efficient interaction between T and B-cells and for normal antibody responses to T-cell dependent antigens. Does not up-regulate the production of interleukin-2, but superinduces the synthesis of interleukin-10. Prevents the apoptosis of pre-activated T-cells. Plays a critical role in CD40-mediated class switching of immunoglobin isotypes (By similarity).

  • Immunodeficiency, common variable, 1 (CVID1) [MIM:607594]: A primary immunodeficiency characterized by antibody deficiency, hypogammaglobulinemia, recurrent bacterial infections and an inability to mount an antibody response to antigen. The defect results from a failure of B-cell differentiation and impaired secretion of immunoglobulins; the numbers of circulating B-cells is usually in the normal range, but can be low. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:12577056}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
