An immune checkpoint on exhausted T cells and on leukaemic stem cells; antibodies against it failed in lung cancer and MDS after strong preclinical promise. This dossier gathers the 2 products (0 approved), 2 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.
Type I transmembrane receptor of the TIM family; ligand binding recruits BAT3 release and inhibits TCR signalling; on myeloid cells it regulates innate responses. Marks terminal exhaustion together with PD-1, LAG-3 and TIGIT.
| Cancer | Prevalence | Measure | Note | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Metastatic cancer | immune% | Immune-cell target (TIM-3 checkpoint on exhausted T cells and myeloid cells): expressed on immune cells rather than on the tumour, so patient selection rests on the cancer type and, in trials, on PD-L1 or immune biomarkers. |
Approximate, population-level figures; the measure column says what was counted. Ranges show the midpoint as a bar.
