Abstract
Over the last several years, there has been increasing interest in the role of proteins of the TIM (T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain) family in regulating immune responses. Despite what the name suggests, proteins of this family function in a much more widespread manner than just on T cells, as we will discuss in this review. We therefore propose that the definition of TIM be adjusted to “transmembrane immunoglobulin and mucin”.
