Anti-CD5 (Mantle Cell Lymphoma Marker), clone C5/473

Formulation: Purified Ab with BSA and Azide at 200ug/ml. Cellular Localization: Cell membrane. Positive Control: 293T, Ramos or MOLT-4 cells. Human tonsil. Chromosome Location: 11q12.2. Protein Function: Lymphoid-specific receptor expressed by all T-cells and in a subset of B-cells known as B1a cells. Plays a role in the regulation of TCR and BCR signaling, thymocyte selection, T-cell effector differentiation and immune tolerance. Acts by interacting with several ligands expressed on B-cells such as CD5L or CD72 and thereby plays an important role in contact-mediated, T-dependent B-cell activation and in the maintenance of regulatory T and B-cell homeostasis. Functions as a negative regulator of TCR signaling during thymocyte development by associating with several signaling proteins including LCK, CD3Z chain, PI3K or CBL (PubMed:1384049, PubMed:1385158). Mechanistically, co-engagement of CD3 with CD5 enhances phosphorylated CBL recruitment leading to increased VAV1 phosphorylation and degradation (PubMed:23376399). Modulates B-cell biology through ERK1/2 activation in a Ca(2+)-dependent pathway via the non-selective Ca(2+) channel TRPC1, leading to IL-10 production (PubMed:27499044) [The Uniprot Consortium]
