Preferred term

Leukocyte Common Antigens  

Type

  • mesh:Descriptor

Definition

  • High-molecular weight glycoproteins uniquely expressed on the surface of LEUKOCYTES and their hemopoietic progenitors. They contain two FIBRONECTIN TYPE III DOMAINS and possess cytoplasmic protein tyrosine phosphatase activity, which plays a role in intracellular signaling from the CELL SURFACE RECEPTORS. Leukocyte common antigens occur as multiple isoforms that result from alternative mRNA splicing and differential usage of three exons. A low molecular weight isoform of CD45 antigen. A splicing isoform of CD45 antigen that includes exon B. A splicing isoform of CD45 antigen that includes exon C. A full-length splicing isoform of CD45 antigen. A splicing isoform of CD45 antigen that includes exon A.
