Recombinant Human CD6 Protein (Fc Tag)

Product Specifications

Background

This gene encodes a protein found on the outer membrane of T-lymphocytes as well as some other immune cells. The encoded protein contains three scavenger receptor cysteine-rich (SRCR) domains and a binding site for an activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule. The gene product is important for continuation of T cell activation. This gene may be associated with an susceptibility to multiple sclerosis (PMID: 19525953, 21849685) . Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
