Activity summary

CD27 also known as Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Superfamily Member 7 (TNFRSF7) is a protein chiefly involved in T cell activation and proliferation. It belongs to the TNF-receptor superfamily and weighs approximately 50 kDa. CD27 is expressed mainly on T lymphocytes and to a lesser extent on B cells and natural killer cells. Researchers often study CD27 and its ligand CD70 to understand immune responses. Tools such as anti-CD27 percp 7h21 monoclonal antibodies and APC-conjugated forms help detect this protein in various assays.

Biological function summary

One finds CD27 at the heart of cellular immune responses. It does not function alone; instead it typically forms part of a receptor-ligand complex with CD70 which influences T cell and B cell activities. This interaction promotes cell survival and plays a role in the activation of NF-kB and MAPK8/JNK signaling pathways which are essential for immune response regulation. These pathways ensure that the body's immune cells can efficiently respond to pathogens.

Pathways

CD27 actively integrates into the NF-kB and mTOR signaling pathways which are important for regulating immune and inflammatory responses. Through these pathways CD27 works closely with proteins like TRAF2 and TRAF3 which are adapter molecules that transmit signals from the receptor. These signaling pathways provide a framework for understanding how CD27 and associated proteins work together to control immune cell behavior facilitating coordinated immune defense mechanisms.

Associated diseases and disorders

CD27 has significant implications in autoimmune diseases and cancer. For example aberrant activation of CD27 may contribute to conditions like lymphoma and autoimmune diseases such as lupus. The CD70-CD27 signaling axis when dysregulated can lead to uncontrolled cell proliferation or apoptosis linking it to these pathologies. Understanding the interplay between CD27 and proteins like Bcl-2 which influences apoptosis helps pave the way for therapeutic strategies targeting these diseases.
