CD24 Protein-VLP, Human (HEK293)

The CD24 protein is implicated in playing a pivotal role in the cell differentiation of various cell types, with its signaling potentially triggered by the binding of a lectin-like ligand to CD24 carbohydrates, transduced through the release of second messengers derived from the GPI-anchor. CD24 also functions in modulating B-cell activation responses, promoting AG-dependent proliferation of B-cells, and preventing their terminal differentiation into antibody-forming cells. In association with SIGLEC10, CD24 may contribute to the selective suppression of the immune response to danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) such as HMGB1, HSP70, and HSP90, suggesting a role in immune regulation. Additionally, CD24 is implicated in the control of autoimmunity. It exhibits cell-type-specific interactions with LYN and FGR, binding to FRG in a small cell cancer line, LYN in the erythroleukemia cell line K-562, and in Burkitt's lymphoma, highlighting its diverse involvement in cellular processes and immune regulation.
