CD83 CD83 molecule

Gene ID: 9308, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: BL11; HB15

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a single-pass type I membrane protein and member of the immunoglobulin superfamily of receptors. The encoded protein may be involved in the regulation of antigen presentation. A soluble form of this protein can bind to dendritic cells and inhibit their maturation. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]
