Preparation and Storage

Background: OLT-2/TARM1

T cell interacting, activating receptor on myeloid cells-1 (TARM-1), also known as OSCAR-like transcript-2 protein (OLT-2) is a type 1 membrane protein expressed by neutrophils, inflammatory monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells. Mature mouse OLT-2/TARM-1 contains a 242 aa long extracellular domain with two Ig-like C2 domains, a 21 aa long transmembrane domain and a 9 aa long cytoplasmic domain. The extracellular domain of human OLT-2/TARM-1 shares 48% and 49% amino acid (aa) identity with mouse and rat OLT-2/TARM-1 respectively. OLT-2/TARM-1 associates with the ITAM bearing adaptor FcR gamma, but not with DAP10 or DAP12.OLT-2/TARM1 expression is also up-regulated by bone marrow-derived macrophages and dendritic cells following stimulation with TLR agonists in vitro. OLT-2/TARM-1 receptor stimulation on macrophages and neutrophils co-stimulate the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines induced by TLR ligands, such as LPS. OLT-2/TARM-1 Fc fusion protein inhibits anti-CD3 induced CD4⁺ cell activation, suggesting that OLT-2/TARM-1 ectodomain interacts with an unidentified receptor on T cells to inhibit T cell activation (1).
