This gene encodes a member of the scavenger receptor cysteine-rich (SRCR) superfamily. Members of this family are secreted or membrane-anchored proteins mainly found in cells associated with the immune system. This protein is a type-I transmembrane glycoprotein found on the surface of thymocytes, T lymphocytes and a subset of B lymphocytes. The encoded protein contains three SRCR domains and may act as a receptor to regulate T-cell proliferation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.

Optimal dilution of the CD5 antibody should be determined by the researcher.

A synthetic peptide specific to human CD5 was used as the immunogen for the CD5 antibody.

Store the CD5 antibody at -20oC.
