Description
Product Characteristics:
Involved in T-cell activation, the induction of cell proliferation and cytokine production and promotion of T-cell survival.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane
Synonyms: T-cell-specific surface glycoprotein CD28, CD28
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene is essential for T-cell proliferation and survival, cytokine production, and T-helper type-2 development. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jul 2011]
