Background: VSIG2

V-set and immunoglobulin domain-containing protein 2 (VSIG2), also known as CTM or CT-like protein, is a member of the much larger Ig superfamily. Mature mouse VSIG2 is a single-pass type I transmembrane protein with a 220 aa extracellular domain (ECD) and a 63 aa cytoplasmic region linked by a short transmembrane domain. The ECD of VSIG2 contains one Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) and one Ig-like V-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain. Mouse VSIG2 ECD shares 85% and 94% identity with human and rat, respectively. In humans, VSIG2 is highly expressed in stomach, colon, prostate, trachea and thyroid glands and weakly in bladder and lung (1). V-set domains are Ig-like domains resembling the antibody variable domain and are found in diverse protein families from immunoglobulin light and heavy chains to T cell receptors and adhesion molecules (2). Several VSIG molecules, including VSIG1 and VSIG4, can be classified into the junctional adhesion molecule (JAM) family based on the immunoglobulin folds, V‐ and C2‐types, found in the ECD (3, 4). While the function of VSIG2 is currently unknown, based on the structural similarity to JAM molecules, it is most likely a cell adhesion molecule (2-4). R&D Systems in-house testing indicates that VSIG2 inhibits anti-CD3 antibody induced IL-17 secretion in human PBMC.
