CD7 (Cluster of Differentiation 7) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CD7 gene.[5]

Function

[edit]

This gene encodes a transmembrane protein which is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. This protein is found on thymocytes and mature T cells. It plays an essential role in T-cell interactions and also in T-cell/B-cell interaction during early lymphoid development.[5]

Interactions

[edit]

CD7 has been shown to interact with PIK3R1.[6][7]

Clinical significance

[edit]

CD7 can be aberrantly expressed in refractory anaemia with excess blasts (RAEB) and may confer a worse prognosis.[8] Also, a lack of CD7 expression could insinuate mycosis fungoides (MF) or Sezary syndrome (SS).[9]
