Lymphocyte Function-Associated Antigen 3

Preferred Label : Lymphocyte Function-Associated Antigen 3;

NCIt synonyms : CD58 Antigen; LFA-3; MSK2; CD2 Ligand; CD58; Ag3; Surface Glycoprotein LFA-3; Lymphocyte Function-Associated Antigen-3;

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.;
