UniProt code: Q07108.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Involved in lymphocyte proliferation and functions as a signal transmitting receptor in lymphocytes, natural killer (NK) cells, and platelets.
 
Subunit: Homodimer; disulfide-linked. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11036086, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11101293, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18959746}.
Subcellular location: Membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein.
Tissue specificity: Expressed on the surface of activated T-cells, B- cells, natural killer cells, neutrophils, eosinophils, epidermal Langerhans cells and platelets.
Developmental stage: Earliest inducible cell surface glycoprotein acquired during lymphoid activation.
Induction: By antigens, mitogens or activators of PKC on the surface of T and B-lymphocytes. By interaction of IL-2 with the p75 IL-2R on the surface of NK cells.
Ptm: Constitutive Ser/Thr phosphorylation in both mature thymocytes and activated T-lymphocytes.
