| Function |
May stimulate primary immune response. Acts on T-cell stimulated sub-optimally through the TCR/CD3 complex stimulating their proliferation and cytokine production. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24036152}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Membrane {ECO:0000250}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in neutrophils. Isoforms 1 and 5 are expressed at high levels in the colon, lung,testis, lymph nodes and thyroid tissue. Isoform 5, but not isoform 1, is detected in spleen. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24036152}.
