Tissue SpecificityExpressed in T-helper type 1 (Th1) lymphocytes. Expressed on regulatory T (Treg) cells after TCR stimulation. Expressed in dendritic cells and natural killer (NK) cells. Expressed in epithelial tissues. Expression is increased on CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. In progressive HIV-1 infection, expression is up-regulated on HIV-1-specific CD8 T-cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11823861, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17069754, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18006747, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19001139, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19587053, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22323453, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22383801, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24838857}.
