CD96 Recombinant Monoclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P40200

Target Species

Human

Target Name

CD96

Target Full Name

T-cell surface protein tactile

Target 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.

Target Involvement

C syndrome (CSYN)

Target Subcellular Location

Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.

Target 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.

Target Synonyms

CD96; T-cell surface protein tactile; Cell surface antigen CD96; T cell-activated increased late expression protein; CD antigen CD96

Target Background

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. It is a type I membrane protein. The protein may play a role in the adhesive interactions of activated T and NK cells during the late phase of the immune response. It may also function in antigen presentation. Alternative splicing generates multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.
