Activity summary

CD83 also known as 3D11 in some contexts is a protein with important roles in the immune system. The CD83 protein is a glycoprotein with a molecular mass of approximately 45 kDa. It is expressed in various immune cells including dendritic cells B cells thymic epithelial cells and activated T cells. CD83 acts as a surface marker during the maturation and activation of these cells. This characteristic makes it a useful marker in immunological studies often referred to by scientists as the CD83 marker.

Biological function summary

The primary role of CD83 involves the regulation of immune responses. It functions by modulating the activity and communication of immune cells especially impacting the antigen-presenting capabilities of dendritic cells. CD83 also plays a role in promoting the maturation of these cells and influencing T-cell responses. Although CD83 is not generally recognized as a part of a complex its interactions with other cell surface molecules are significant for immune system function.

Pathways

CD83 has notable involvement in immune signaling pathways including the NF-kB and JAK/STAT pathways. These pathways are critical for transmitting signals that influence cell survival proliferation and activation. Through these pathways CD83 interacts with proteins such as cytokines and growth factors which further modulate their effects on immune cells and their responses.

Associated diseases and disorders

Understanding CD83’s role provides insights into conditions like autoimmune diseases and immune deficiencies. In autoimmune diseases irregular expression or function of CD83 can disrupt normal immune response contributing to pathogenesis. Its relationship with other proteins such as CD28 in T-cell activation underlies its involvement in disorders characterized by immune dysregulation. Furthermore CD83 expression profiles may help decipher cancer immune evasion mechanisms providing possible therapeutic targets.
