Human CD72/LYB2/CD72b Protein, ECD (Extracellular Domain), Fc-fusion, Recombinant
B-cell differentiation antigen CD72, also known as Lyb2, is a single pass type II transmembrane glycoprotein that plays an important role in adaptive immunity. CD72 contains a 95 amino acid (aa) cytoplasmic domain with 2 immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIMs), a 21 aa transmembrane segment, and a 243 aa extracellular domain (ECD) with a coiled-coil domain and a C-type lectin domain. CD72 is expressed on B lineage cells including Pre-B-cells and B-cells but not terminally differentiated plasma cells, NK cells, monocytes, dendritic cells, and mast cells. CD5 exists as a disulfide-linked homodimer. It interacts with CD5 and with CD100/Semaphorin 4D. CD5 also associates with CD79a in the B cell antigen receptor (BCR) complex following antigen stimulation. CD5 inhibits BCR signaling through interactions with the phosphatase PTPN6/SHP-1. CD72 ligation with antibodies or with CD100 induces tyrosine dephosphorylation of the CD72 cytoplasmic domain and its dissociation from SHP-1, leading to B cell proliferation. CD100 is expressed on activated NK cells and the adhesive interaction between CD100+ NK cells and CD72+ cells leads to an enhanced killing and IFNγ secretion. Both CD72 and CD100 are required for the maintenance of B cell anergy and tolerance. Mice that lack either CD72 or CD100 develop autoimmunity. CD72 may also induce positive signaling in B cells independent of the BCR signaling.
