CD11c also known as ITGAX is a subunit of integrin proteins that plays a pivotal role in immune cell function. This protein has a molecular mass of about 150 kDa and is primarily expressed on the surface of dendritic cells monocytes and macrophages. It serves as a marker for these cells commonly utilized in applications like CD11c flow cytometry and CD11c IHC. Researchers often study this target using CD11c antibodies to explore immune system dynamics and cell surface characteristics.
Biological function summary
CD11c functions as an integrin alpha X subunit forming a heterodimer with the beta 2 subunit known as ITGB2. This complex is important for cell adhesion and migration processes. It mediates the binding of leukocytes to endothelial cells facilitating their migration from the bloodstream to sites of inflammation or infection. CD11c's presence on immune cells makes it essential for presenting antigens and initiating immune responses therefore having critical implications for immunity.
Pathways
CD11c plays a significant role in the immune system particularly in the leukocyte adhesion and migration pathways. It partners with proteins like ITGB2 to mediate these functions. The signaling pathways involving CD11c and related molecules regulate leukocyte trafficking and activation ensuring proper localization and function at sites of damage or infection. These pathways are essential for maintaining immune homeostasis and prompt responses to pathogens.
CD11c has significant connections to autoimmune diseases and chronic inflammatory conditions. Aberrant CD11c expression or activity can contribute to the pathogenesis of conditions like rheumatoid arthritis where leukocyte migration and persistent inflammation play a role. Studies also link CD11c with proteins involved in these disorders highlighting its importance in disease progression and potential as a therapeutic target. The understanding of CD11c's role in these conditions can guide the development of treatments aimed at modulating immune responses.
