Fig. 1. Structure and expression of CTLA-4.

Fig. 1

The locus of the CTLA-4 gene on chromosome 2 and the constituent parts of the expressed protein of the CTLA-4 gene (A). The role of CTLA-4 gene polymorphisms in different cancers (B). CTLA-4 protein consists of a leader peptide and three domains: a ligand-binding region, a transmembrane region, and a cytoplasmic tail. As shown in the picture, these parts correspond to exon 1, exon 2, exon 3, and exon 4 in the CTLA-4 gene, respectively. CTLA-4 Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte Associated Protein 4, AA Amino Acids, NSCLC Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer, 3′-UTR 3′-Untranslated Regions.
