U-Blot® Recombinant CD48 (VF0581) Fc-Fused Nanobody

Background：This gene encodes a cell surface glycoprotein that regulates complement-mediated cell lysis, and it is involved in lymphocyte signal transduction.This protein is a potent inhibitor of the complement membrane attack complex, whereby it binds complement C8 and/or C9 during the assembly ofThis complex, thereby inhibiting the incorporation of multiple copies of C9 into the complex, which is necessary for osmolytic pore formation.This protein also plays a role in signal transduction pathways in the activation of T cells. Mutations inThis gene cause CD59 deficiency, a disease resulting in hemolytic anemia and thrombosis, and which causes cerebral infarction. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants, which encode the same protein, have been identified forThis gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
