CD82 (metastasis suppressor Kangai 1, KAI1, C33 antigen, IA4, inducible membrane protein R2, tetraspanin-27, Tspan-27)

Function: - roles in signal transduction & T cell activation. - CD82 expression correlates with p53 expression. - associates with CD4 or CD8 & gives costimulatory signals for T cell receptor pathway - CD82 cross-linking promotes activation of human monocytic cell lines Expression: - activated/differentiated hematopoietic cells - negative antibody staining in erythrocytes Pathology: - prostate cancer antimetastasis gene (protein) kang ai (KAI1) - transfection of CD82 inhibited metastatic potential of prostate cancer cells in rat - CD82 expression is correlated with metastatic potential in humans
