CD83 is a single-pass type I membrane protein and member of the immunoglobulin superfamily of receptors. The protein may be involved in the regulation of antigen presentation. A soluble form of this protein can bind to dendritic cells and inhibit their maturation. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Recombinant protein corresponding to aa20-144 from human CD83, fused to His-tag at N-terminal expressed in E. coli.
