CD46 acts as a cofactor for complement factor I, a serine protease, which protects autologous cells against complement-mediated injury by cleaving C3b and C4b deposited on host tissue. It may be involved in the fusion of the spermatozoa with the oocyte during fertilization. CD46 acts as a co-stimulatory factor for T-cells, which induces the differentiation of CD4+ into T-regulatory 1 cells. T-regulatory 1 cells suppress immune responses by secreting interleukin-10, and therefore are thought to prevent autoimmunity. A number of viral and bacterial pathogens seem to exploit this property and directly induce an immunosuppressive phenotype in T-cells by binding to CD46.
Functional Studies (Order Ab without Azide);Flow Cytometry (1-2ug/million cells); Immunofluorescence (1-2ug/ml);
For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic/therapeutics procedures.
Subcellular location: | Cytoplasmic vesicle |
Post transnational modification: | In epithelial cells, isoforms B/D/F/H/J/L/3 are phosphorylated by YES1 in response to infection by Neisseria gonorrhoeae; which promotes infectivity. In T-cells, these isoforms may be phosphorylated by LCK. |
Tissue Specificity: | Expressed by all cells except erythrocytes. |
BioGrid: | 110346. 11 interactions. |
