Human CD5 Protein, His Tag, low endotoxin

T-cell surface glycoprotein CD5 is also known as Lymphocyte antigen T1/Leu-1 and LEU1, which is phosphorylated on tyrosine residues by LYN, so CD5 can create binding sites for PTPN6/SHP-1.CD5 may act as a receptor in regulating T-cell proliferation. CD5 is expressed at various developmental and activation stages on human B cells.CD5 is a well established negative regulator of TCR and BCR signalling.CD5-positive cells may also prevent the emergence of autoimmunity by provision of cytokines such as IL-10. Development, selection and function of different B- and T-cell subsets or their preferential survival may be directly or indirectly dependent on different glycan structures associated with CD5 or CD5-like molecules.
