Biological function summary
CD47 functions as a "don't eat me" signal inhibiting phagocytosis by binding to SIRP¦Б on macrophages. This protein is also important for cell adhesion and migration and can modulate interactions with integrins. While not a part of a large complex CD47 associates with various cytoskeletal and membrane proteins to maintain cellular architecture and transmission of mechanical forces. Additionally its interaction with thrombospondins influences angiogenesis and nitric oxide signaling.
Pathways
CD47 is extensively involved in the regulation of the immune response and angiogenesis. The interaction between CD47 and SIRP¦Б plays a part in the regulation of macrophage activity impacting the immune signaling pathway. CD47 also interacts with integrins allowing it to contribute to the angiogenesis pathway which is critical in the formation of new blood vessels. These interactions help coordinate complex cellular responses and maintain tissue homeostasis.
