CD23

CD23 is a protein found on the surface of certain immune cells called B cells, which help protect the body from infections. It plays a role in regulating immune responses by influencing the activation and growth of B cells and their production of antibodies. CD23 is involved in controlling inflammation and immune system balance. It also interacts with other molecules to help the body recognize and respond to pathogens. Understanding CD23 can be important in studying immune-related diseases, such as allergies or some types of leukemia, where immune regulation is disrupted.
