Description
Product Characteristics: CD5 is a 67 kDa protein, also known as Lyt-1, Ly-1, T1, Tp67, or Ly-12. It is a member of the scavenger receptor cysteine-rich protein superfamily (SRCR) and primarily expressed on thymocytes, T cells, and B-1 cells. Although mature alpha/beta T cells express high levels of CD5, very few gamma/epsilon T cells express this antigen. The interaction of CD5 with CD72, gp35-37, TCR, or BCR is involved in T and B cell activation.
Target Information: May act as a receptor in regulating T-cell proliferation
