| Gene Symbol | TIMD4 |
| Full Name | TIMD4 (T Cell Immunoglobulin and Mucin Domain Containing 4) |
| Aliases | T Cell Immunoglobulin and Mucin Domain Containing 4 |
| Chromosome | 5q33.3 |
| Protein Type | Gene |
| Function | The TIMD4 gene encodes TIM-4 (T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-containing protein 4), a phosphatidylserine receptor that plays a critical role in the recognition and engulfment of apoptotic cell |
| UniProt ID | Q9C0J8 |
| NCBI Gene ID | 10578 |
| Ensembl ID | ENSG00000134030 |

| Human Protein Atlas | TIMD4 |
| Apoptotic Cell Clearance | TIMD4 mediates the engulfment of dying cells, preventing the release of intracellular contents that could trigger inflammatory responses [@phosphatidylserine] |
| Immune Tolerance | Proper clearance of apoptotic cells by TIMD4-expressing phagocytes prevents autoimmunity |
| Resolution of Inflammation | TIMD4 contributes to the anti-inflammatory environment during tissue repair |
| Synaptic Pruning | During development, microglia use TIMD4 to recognize and eliminate excess synapses |
| Associated Diseases | neurodegeneration |
