Description
Product Characteristics:
Description: Involved in lymphocyte proliferation and functions as a signal transmitting receptor in lymphocytes, natural killer (NK) cells, andplatelets Subcellular location: Membrane, Single-pass type II membrane protein Tissue specificity: Expressed on the surface of activated T-cells, B-cells, natural killer cells, neutrophils, eosinophils, epidermal Langerhanscells and platelets Sequence similarities: Contains 1 C-type lectin domain.
Aliases: CLEC2C, CD69
Target Information: This gene encodes a member of the calcium dependent lectin superfamily of type II transmembrane receptors. Expression of the encoded protein is induced upon activation of T lymphocytes, and may play a role in proliferation. Furthermore, the protein may act to transmit signals in natural killer cells and platelets. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]
