Serves as a receptor for various ligands including complement component CD3d, HNRNPU OR IFNA1 (PubMed:1849076, PubMed:21527715, PubMed:7753047). When C3d is bound to antigens, attaches to C3d on B-cell surface and thereby facilitates the recognition and uptake of antigens by B-cells (PubMed:21527715). This interaction enhances B-cell activation and subsequent immune responses. Forms a complex with several partners on the surface of B-cells including CD19, FCRL5 and CD81, to form the B-cell coreceptor complex that plays a crucial role in B-cell activation and signaling (PubMed:1383329, PubMe…

Il CR2 (abbreviazione per complement receptor type 2) è un recettore del complemento presente sulle cellule follicolari dendritiche e sui linfociti B; è una serin-proteasi come , quest'ultima presente soprattutto sui globuli rossi con funzione di rimozione degli immunocomplessi.
