Description
CD24 may have a pivotal role in cell differentiation of different cell types.
Signaling could be triggered by the binding of a lectin-like ligand to the CD24 carbohydrates, and transduced by the release of second messengers derived from the GPI-anchor.
Modulates B-cell activation responses.
Promotes AG-dependent proliferation of B-cells, and prevents their terminal differentiation into antibody-forming cells.
In association with SIGLEC10 may be involved in the selective suppression of the immune response to danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) such as HMGB1, HSP70 and HSP90.
Plays a role in the control of autoimmunity
