B-cell receptor CD22 is a surface protein .

properties

CD22 is a lectin and cell adhesion molecule from the SIGLEC family and binds the B-cell receptor and sialylated (preferably alpha-2,6-bound) glycoproteins such as CD45 . It is made by B cells and is a regulating co-receptor of the B cell receptor. Among other things, it is involved in cell adhesion . Depending on the signal transduction that follows , CD22 can activate the B-cell (via Src ) and thus strengthen the humoral immune response or it is involved in B-cell tolerance (via phosphatases ) . This is done by binding these proteins to the intracellular ITIM motif of CD22. It is glycosylated and phosphorylated . Epratuzumab binds to CD22 and is being studied for the treatment of lupus erythematosus .
