| Short Name | IgV_CD47 |
| description | CD47 was originally identified as integrin-associated protein (IAP). It is a transmembrane glycoprotein that possesses an immunoglobulin variable (IgV) like N-terminal domain, five transmembrane domains and an alternatively spliced C terminus. It functions as a marker of self on erythrocytes, and likely also on other cells, by binding to the inhibitory receptor SIRPalpha []. CD47-induces caspase-independent cell death may be mediated by cytoskeleton reorganisation []. The protein can also act as a thrombospondin receptor [].This entry represents the IgV domain of of CD47. The interaction of CD47 with integrins is dependent on its IgV and transmembrane domains. The IgV domain and transmembrane domain of CD47 have also been found to be sufficient for the association with actin []. |
