NCIt definition : Lymphocyte function-associated antigen 3 (250 aa, 28 kDa) is encoded by the human
CD58 gene. This protein is involved in the adhesion and activation of T-lymphocytes.;
NCIt note : CD58 mediates cell adhesion by binding to CD2 (ANTIGENS, CD2) and this enhances antigen-specific
T-cell activation.;
