Background

CD43, also known as Leukosialin, Sialophorin, B-cell differentiation antigen LP-3 and Ly-48, is a type I transmembrane sialylated mucin that is expressed on most leukocytes and some tumor cells. Notably, the membrane expression of CD43 seems to be a characteristic of leukocytes, while cytoplasmic expression without membrane insertion occurs in endothelium and select epithelia. While CD43 restricts leukocyte adhesion and modulates T cell activation, these activities are context specific. CD43 can both induce and protect against apoptosis, and can either promote or block cell adhesion. In mouse, CD43 is synthesized as a 378 amino acid (aa) precursor that contains a 7 aa signal sequence, a 224 aa extracellular region, a 23 aa TM domain, and a 124 aa cytoplasmic tail. Rat CD43 extracellular region shares a 61% aa sequence identity with the extracellular region in mouse CD43.
