CD244

Official Full Name

CD244 CD244 molecule, natural killer cell receptor 2B4

Background

CD244 contains 2 Ig-like domains. A role for the subtypes of CD2 Ig superfamily receptors has been recently demonstrated in eosinophilic inflammation in experimental asthma and atopic asthmatics. Functions of CD244 molecules are in eosinophil adhesion and chemotaxis, and correlated the results to the pathophysiology of allergic rhinitis (AR). The cluster of differentiation is a protocol used for the identification and investigation of cell surface molecules present on white blood cells initially.
