CD99
Function
Involved in T-cell adhesion processes and in spontaneous rosette formation with erythrocytes. Plays a role in a late step of leukocyte extravasation helping leukocytes to overcome the endothelial basement membrane. Acts at the same site as, but independently of, PECAM1. Involved in T-cell adhesion processes (By similarity).
Post-translational modifications
Extensively O-glycosylated.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the CD99 family.
Cellular localization
- Membrane
- Single-pass type I membrane protein
