CD59 molecular target information overview
CD59 molecular target review
CD59, also known as protectin, is expressed on all human lymphocytes, monocytes, granulocytes, and erythrocytes. This protein is also expressed on non-hematopoietic cells, including endothelial cells and neurons. CD59 interacts with CD2, regulates T-cell adhesion, and plays a role in T-cell activation. Finally, altered expression of CD55 and CD59 on human peripheral blood cells has been observed in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
