Biological function summary
CD45RC impacts cell signaling by regulating the threshold of activation in T and B cells. It is a member of the receptor-type protein tyrosine phosphatase family and functions to maintain immune homeostasis. CD45RC does not typically function alone; it interacts with other cell surface molecules to facilitate signal transduction. By dephosphorylating specific kinases it fine-tunes the immune response preventing overreaction and facilitating a rapid appropriate response to antigens.
Pathways
CD45RC modulates pathways involved in lymphocyte activation. One key pathway is the T-cell receptor signaling pathway where it controls the activity of Src family kinases which play a significant part in the early activation of T cells. Another important pathway is the B-cell receptor signaling pathway. CD45RC's action with the BCR complex ensures precise regulation of B cell responses. Its activity is closely related to proteins such as Lck and Fyn which are involved in the signaling cascades initiated by receptor engagement.
