Molecular Mass
Recombinant Human CD96 consists of 493 amino acids and predictes a molecular mass of 55 kDa. In SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, the apparent molecular mass of rh CD96 is approximately 120-130 kDa due to high glycosylation.
Background
May be involved in adhesive interactions of activated T and NK cells during the late phase of the immune response. Promotes NK cell-target adhesion by interacting with PVR present on target cells. May function at a time after T and NK cells have penetrated the endothelium using integrins and selectins, when they are actively engaging diseased cells and moving within areas of inflammation.
