Programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (UniProt Q9NZQ7; also known as B7-H1, B7 homolog 1, CD274, PD-L1, PDCD1 ligand 1, Programmed death ligand 1) is encoded by the CD274 (also known as B7H1, PDCD1L1, PDCD1LG1, PDL1) gene (Gene ID 29126) in human. PD-1 and PD-1 ligands 1&2 (PD-L1 and PD-L2) are B7:CD28 family members that regulate T cell activation and peripheral tolerance. When engaged together with the TCR, the interaction of PD-1 with its ligands delivers an inhibitory signal to T cell proliferation and cytokine production. While PD-L1 is broadly expressed in hematopoietic and nonhematopoietic cells, PD-L2 expression is highly restricted to antigen presenting cells (APCs), including dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages. The PD-1 pathway plays a key role in the progressive loss of effector T cell responses during chronic HIV infection. Under some conditions, blockade of this pathway is able to restore many T cell functions. PD-L1 is initially produced with signal peptide (a.a. 1-18) sequence, the removal of which yields the mature protien with a large extracellular (a.a. 19-238) region that contains an Ig-like V-type domain (a.a. 19-127) and an Ig-like C2-type domain (a.a. 133-225), followed by a transmembrane domain (a.a. 239-259) and a cytoplasmic tail (a.a. 260-290).
