Function | Structural component of specialized membrane microdomains known as tetraspanin-enriched microdomains (TERMs), which act as platforms for receptor clustering and signaling (PubMed:28487417). Participates thereby in diverse biological functions such as cell signal transduction, adhesion, migration and protein trafficking (PubMed:32974937, PubMed:35767951). Plays a role in the activation of monocytes and B-cells (PubMed:8335905). Acts as an essential regulator of B-cell development by promoting interleukin-7 receptor/IL7R signaling (By similarity). Also promotes, in B-cells, the BCR signaling by recruiting PKC to the plasma membrane in order to phosphorylate its substrates (PubMed:28487417). Plays an essential role in B- and T-cells homing to lymph nodes by stabilizing L-selectin/SELL cell surface expression (By similarity). Also mediates metabolic and inflammatory functions in hepatocytes and adipose tissue by promoting TNF-alpha and LPS signaling independent of the immune compartment (By similarity). |

Background
Recognizes a protein of 33-55kDa, identified as CD53 (Workshop VI; Code N-L033). It is expressed on monocytes and macrophages, dendritic cells, osteoblasts and osteoclasts, and on T and B cells from every stage of differentiation but is absent from platelets, red blood cells. CD53 appears to be the marker with widest reactivity as well as the marker with the strictest specificity to hematopoietic cells. CD53 is a type III membrane with both termini in the cytoplasm and two loops in the extracellular environment. This molecule, in common with other members of tetraspan family, is involved in cellular activation as part of a signal transduction complex involving other membrane glycoproteins. CD53 crosslinking induces calcium flux on human monocyte and B cells. Cross-linking of CD53 promotes activation of resting human B-lymphocytes. This MAb recognizes CD53 transfected cells and partially inhibits T-cell proliferation induced by CD3 antibody (clone: UCHT1).
