Description

IL4I1 (Interleukin 4 Induced 1) encodes an L-amino acid oxidase that is induced by interleukin-4. The enzyme catalyzes the oxidative deamination of aromatic amino acids, producing hydrogen peroxide and ammonia. It plays a role in immune regulation, particularly in T-cell responses and antigen presentation. IL4I1 is expressed in immune cells and certain tumors, where it may contribute to immune evasion.

Protein Summary

IL4I1 is a secreted L-amino acid oxidase that converts aromatic amino acids (e.g., phenylalanine, tryptophan) into corresponding keto acids, ammonia, and hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide produced can inhibit T-cell proliferation and modulate immune responses. The protein is implicated in immune tolerance and tumor immune evasion.
