Description
Product Characteristics:
Involved in lymphocyte proliferation and functions as a signal transmitting receptor in lymphocytes, natural killer (NK) cells, and platelets.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane
Synonyms: AIM, EA1, MLR-3, CLEC2C, GP32/28, BL-AC/P26, Early activation antigen CD69, Activation inducer molecule, C-type lectin domain family 2 member C, Early T-cell activation antigen p6, Leukocyte surface antigen Leu-23, 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]
