Immunoglobulin-like domain-containing receptor 2 (ILDR2)

Target
ILDR2
Molecular classification
Receptor, B7 family immunomodulatory receptor, Type I transmembrane protein
01

Overview

Immunoglobulin-like domain-containing receptor 2 (ILDR2) is a type I transmembrane protein that functions as a member of the B7 family of immunomodulatory receptors. It is involved in the negative regulation of T-cell activation, contributing to immune tolerance. ILDR2 is expressed in several non-lymphoid tissues, fibroblastic reticular cells in lymph nodes, and is important for immune cell recruitment. Pharmacological targeting of ILDR2, for example with the antibody BAY 1905254, promotes T-cell activation and anti-tumor immunity, and has shown potential efficacy in cancer and autoimmune disease models. ILDR2 also participates in epithelial tight junction integrity and may influence inner ear development and function.

Mechanism of action

Immune checkpoint blockade: antibody inhibition of ILDR2 lifts the immunosuppressive signal to promote T-cell activation, proliferation, and cytotoxicity

03

Biological functions

Negative regulation of T-cell activation (immunosuppressive effect)Recruitment of MARVELD2/tricellulin to tricellular tight junctions in epithelial barrierPotential regulation of alternative pre-mRNA splicing in the inner earInvolvement in ER stress pathways, lipid homeostasis, insulin secretion (by similarity, less direct evidence)
04

Disease associations

Cancer (therapeutic target for immunotherapy)Autoimmune diseases (multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, type I diabetes)Deafness (Autosomal recessive forms)
05

Safety considerations

Immune modulation may involve risks similar to other immune checkpoint targets, though specific adverse events are not well-characterized for ILDR2 blockade
06

Interacting drugs

BAY 1905254 (clinical-stage immune checkpoint inhibitor antibody targeting ILDR2 for cancer immunotherapy)
07

Biomarkers

ILDR2 expression levels in tissues, correlation with mutational load and immunogenicity of cancer models
