CD28 Antibody – Mouse Monoclonal

CD28: a type I plasma membrane protein Involved in T-cell activation, the induction of cell proliferation and cytokine production and promotion of T-cell survival. Binds to B7-1 and -2. Expressed in T cells and plasma cells, but not in less mature B cells. Six splice-variant isoforms have been described.

Protein type: Membrane protein, integral; Cell surface

Cellular Component: membrane; integral to membrane; plasma membrane; immunological synapse; lipid raft; external side of plasma membrane

Molecular Function: protein homodimerization activity; SH3/SH2 adaptor activity; protease binding

Biological Process: positive regulation of isotype switching to IgG isotypes; T cell activation; positive regulation of mitosis; positive regulation of interleukin-2 biosynthetic process; T cell receptor signaling pathway; negative thymic T cell selection; positive regulation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase cascade; positive regulation of protein kinase B signaling cascade; positive regulation of inflammatory response to antigenic stimulus; T cell costimulation; positive regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter; immune response; positive regulation of alpha-beta T cell proliferation; positive regulation of T cell proliferation; regulatory T cell differentiation
