| Function |
Lipid tetraspanin-associated transmembrane adapter/mediator involved in major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II signaling transduction. Required in generating the calcium response and enhancing ERK activity upon MHC-II stimulation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21930792}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Membrane {ECO:0000305}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. Membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21930792}; Lipid-anchor {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21930792}. Note=Together with MHC-II, associates with lipid-enriched microdomains called tetraspanin-enriched microdomains (TEMs). Rapidly translocates into immunological synapse (IS) at cell-cell contacts between antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and T-cells. Colocalized with tetraspanins CD37, CD53, and CD81 at the uropod. Present at regions of cell-cell contacts but also at the leading edge of migrating cells.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in antigen-presenting cells, like peripheral blood leukocytes and monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MDDC) (at protein level). Highly expressed in lymph nodes and spleen. Expressed in antigen-presenting cells. Faintly expressed in the majority of nonimmune system tissues. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21930792}.
