TARM1


Description

The TARM1 (T cell-interacting, activating receptor on myeloid cells 1) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 19.

TARM1 may function as a receptor. It plays a role in regulating immune responses by inhibiting the activation and proliferation of CD4+ T cells, likely through interaction with an unidentified ligand on the T cell surface. Additionally, TARM1 appears to enhance the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines in macrophages and neutrophils in response to Toll-like receptor activation.

TARM1 is also known as OLT-2.
