Description
Product Characteristics:
May play a significant role in antigen presentation or the cellular interactions that follow lymphocyte activation.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane
Synonyms: BL11, HB15, CD83 antigen, hCD83, B-cell activation protein, Cell surface protein HB15, CD83
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]
