Description
Product Characteristics:
May play a significant role in antigen presentation or the cellular interactions that follow lymphocyte activation.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm
Synonyms: B cell activation 45 kDa cell surface glycoprotein Ig superfamily, B cell activation protein, BL11, BL11 PEN, CD83 Molecule, Cell surface protein HB15, HB15, MGC130312, MGC130313, Cell surface protein HB15.
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene is a single-pass type I membrane protein and member of the immunoglobulin superfamily of receptors. The encoded protein may be involved in the regulation of antigen presentation. A soluble form of this protein can bind to dendritic cells and inhibit their maturation. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]
