TAGAP gene variants are linked to human autoimmunity. Here the authors identify TAGAP as a Dectin-1 and EphB2-binding protein mediating antifungal innate immune signaling and cytokine production, and demonstrate TAGAP in non-T cells promotes Th17 response in mouse models of infection and autoimmunity.
