This gene encodes a member of the calcium dependent lectin superfamily of type II transmembrane receptors. Expression of the encoded protein is induced upon activation of T lymphocytes, and may play a role in proliferation. Furthermore, the protein may act to transmit signals in natural killer cells and platelets. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]
Sensitivity: The minimum detectable dose of Human CTLA4 / CD152 was determined to be approximately 15.6 pg/ml. This is defined as at least three times standard deviations above the mean optical density of 10 replicates of the zero standard. Detection: 15.6 pg/ml
