Gene: CD96

Alternate names for this Gene: TACTILE

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. It is a type I membrane protein. The protein may play a role in the adhesive interactions of activated T and NK cells during the late phase of the immune response. It may also function in antigen presentation. Alternative splicing generates multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 3

Location in Chromosome : 3q13.13-q13.2

Description of this Gene: CD96 molecule

Type of Gene: protein-coding
