CD45antigen (Protein tyrosine phosphatase, receptor type, C also known as PTPRC and formerly known as leukocyte common antigen LCA)
Protein tyrosine phosphatase, receptor type, C also known as PTPRC is an enzyme that, in humans, is encoded by the PTPRCgene.[5] PTPRC is also known as CD45antigen (CD stands for cluster of differentiation), which was originally called leukocyte common antigen (LCA).[6] Function The protein product of this gene, best known as CD45, is a member of the protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) family. PTPs are signaling molecules that regulate a…
