Target Details for CD2

Target: CD2

Alternative Name: CD2

Background: CD2 belongs to T lymphocyte glycoproteins of immunoglobulin superfamily. Its interaction with CD58 stabilizes adhesion between T cells and antigen presenting or target cells. Relatively low affinity of CD2 to CD58 (as measured in solution) is compensated within the two-dimensional cell-cell interface to provide tight adhesion. Morover, T cell activation induces increased CD2 expression and its lateral mobility, making easier contact between CD2 and CD58. Subsequently, T cell activation causes fixation of CD58-CD2 at sites of cell-cell contact, thereby strengthening intercellular adhesion. CD2 deficiency reduces intestinal inflammation and helps to control infection.Synonyms: Erythrocyte receptor, LFA-2, LFA-3 receptor, Rosette receptor, SRBC, T-cell surface antigen CD2, T-cell surface antigen T11/Leu-5
