CD21; complement receptor type 2; Cr2; complement C3d receptor; Epstein-Barr virus receptor; EBV receptor (CR2, C3DR)

Function: - receptor for complement C3Dd - receptor for HNRPU - participates in B lymphocytes activation - forms complex with CD19, CD81 & CD225 Structure: - belongs to the receptors of complement activation (RCA) family - contains 15 Sushi domains (CCP/SCR) Compartment: membrane Alternative splicing: named isoforms=4 Expression: - mature B-cells; CD21 is present on resting B-cells - follicular dendritic cells - T-lymphocytes - pharyngeal epithelial cells - astrocytes Pathology: - receptor for Epstein-Barr virus on human B-cells & T-cells - genetic variations in CR2 are associated with susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus type 9 Laboratory: - CD21 & CD23 are dendritic cell markers
