CX3CR1

General information on CD86 Recombinant Protein:

Cluster of Differentiation 86 (also known as CD86 and B7-2) is a protein expressed in antigen presenting cells, which provides co-stimulatory signals necessary for T cell activation and survival. It is a ligand for two different proteins on the cell surface. T: CD28 (for self-regulation and cell-cell binding) and CTLA-4 (to attenuate cell regulation and separation). CD86 and CD80 act together on primary T cells. This gene encodes a type I membrane protein that is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. The protein is expressed because it contains antigens, and is a ligand for two proteins on the surface of T cells, the CD28 antigen and the cytotoxic T lymph.
