Rabbit Anti-CD96/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
CD96 antigen, also designated T cell surface protein tactile (T cell activation, increased late expression) precursor, is a type I membrane protein and is a member of the immunoglobulin supergene family of proteins. The gene encoding for the CD96 protein maps to chromosome 3q13.13-q13.2. During the late phases of the immune response, CD96 is involved in adhesive interactions of activated, both helper and cytotoxic, NK and T cells. It interacts with CD155. CD96, shows increased expression after NK and T cell activation. It can also be found actively engaging diseased cells and moving in inflamed areas after NK and T cells have moved through the endothelium. CD96 is involved in antigen presentation and/or lymphocyte activation. The protein, which may form a homodimer, is expressed on normal T cell lines and some transformed T cells.
Function:
May be involved in adhesive interactions of activated T and NK cells during the late phase of the immune response. Promotes NK cell-target adhesion by interacting with PVR present on target cells. May function at a time after T and NK cells have penetrated the endothelium using integrins and selectins, when they are actively engaging diseased cells and moving within areas of inflammation.
Subunit:
Homodimer; disulfide-linked. Interacts with PVR.
Subcellular Location:
Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
Tissue Specificity:
Expressed on normal T-cell lines and clones, and some transformed T-cells, but no other cultured cell lines tested. It is expressed at very low levels on activated B-cells.
DISEASE:
C syndrome (CSYN) [MIM:211750]: A syndrome characterized by trigonocephaly, severe mental retardation, hypotonia, variable cardiac defects, redundant skin, and dysmorphic facial features, including upslanted palpebral fissures, epicanthal folds, depressed nasal bridge, and low-set, posteriorly rotated ears. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17847009}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. A chromosomal aberration involving CD96 has been found in a patient with C syndrome. Translocation t(3;18)(q13.13;q12.1). CD96 gene was located at the 3q13.13 breakpoint. Precise structural analysis around the breakpoint showed that the gene was disrupted by the translocation in exon 5, probably leading to premature termination or loss of expression of CD96 protein. No gene was detected at the chromosome 18 breakpoint.
Similarity:
Contains 1 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain.
Contains 2 Ig-like SLVtype (immunoglobulin-like) domains.
