T-Lymphocyte Activation Antigen CD86; Activation B7-2 Antigen; B70; BU63; CTLA-4 Counter-Receptor B7.2; FUN-1; CD86; CD28LG2
Receptor involved in the costimulatory signal essential for T-lymphocyte proliferation and interleukin-2 production, by binding CD28 or CTLA-4. May play a critical role in the early events of T-cell activation and costimulation of naive T-cells, such as deciding between immunity and anergy that is made by T-cells within 24 hours after activation. Isoform 2 interferes with the formation of CD86 clusters, and thus acts as a negative regulator of T-cell activation.
Recombinant partial protein corresponding to the extracellular domain, aa24-247, of human T-lymphocyte Activation CD86, fused to 6X His-Tag at C-terminal, expressed in mammalian cell.
