Overview of human CD45 isoforms For Human CD45 isoforms - RA, RO, RB, RAB, RBC and RABC
Human CD45 isoform
Description
Human CD45RACD45RA, which is expressed on naïve T cells, consists of exon 4. After activation CD45RA+ T regulatory cells are converted to CD45RO+ T regulatory cells.
Human CD45ROCD45RO is a low-molecular weight isoform which enhances both T- and B-cell receptor signaling meditated activation. It is typically expressed on activated T cells, memory T cells, some B cell subsets, monocytes and granulocytes. CD45RO contains exons 3, 7 and 8 of the CD45 gene. The RA, RB, and RC exons are not present.
Human CD45RBCD45RB is a 220 kDa glycoprotein expressed on B cells, naïve T cells, thymocytes and dendritic cells. It plays key roles in T- and B- cell receptor signaling. As T cells become activated and mature from naïve to memory cells, CD45RB expression is downregulated. CD45RB contains exon 5.
Human CD45RABCD45RAB contains exons 4 and 5 of the CD45 gene.
Human CD45RBCCD45RAB contains exons 5 and 6 of the CD45 gene.
