V-set and immunoglobulin domain containing 4
V-set and immunoglobulin domain containing 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the VSIG4 gene.[5]
Function
This gene encodes a v-set and immunoglobulin-domain containing protein that is structurally related to the B7 family of immune regulatory proteins. The encoded protein may be a negative regulator of T-cell responses. This protein is also a receptor for the complement component 3 fragments C3b and iC3b. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

gollark: Roughly.
gollark: Newton's flaming laser sword is great, I agree.
gollark: Not that "reality" is well-defined.
gollark: Let me go further and say that the processing is irrelevant; even if we had conscious access to all the inputs directly it would not be possible to prove that they actually corresponded to reality.
