SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION

plasma membrane

basic FUNCTION	involved in antigen recognition via its role in adhesion and signal transduction
	complex CD2/CD58 plays an important role in enhancing the adhesion of T lymphocytes to target cells, and promoting hyperplasia and activation of T lymphocytes (Li 2008)
	receptor on T lymphocytes essential for T cell adhesion and stimulation by antigen presenting cells (APCs) (Zhu 2006)

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	interacting with CD58 prior antigen recognition by TCR (CD58 receptor)
	SRBC receptor
	LFA3 receptor
	interacting with an adaptor protein (CDC2BP) to trigger cell adhesion
	interaction with CD58 (interaction mediating tight adhesion within the 2D cell-cell interface) (Zhu 2006)
	with CD58 up-regulate the expression of transcription factor FOXP3P3 leading to the enhanced function of CD4(+)CD25(high) regulatory T cells that are defective in subjects with MS (De Jager 2009)
