Transmembrane glycoprotein expressed by T-cells and natural killer (NK) cells and their precursors (PubMed:7506726). Plays a costimulatory role in T-cell activation upon binding to its ligand K12/SECTM1 (PubMed:10652336). In turn, mediates the production of cytokines such as IL-2 (PubMed:1709867). On resting NK-cells, CD7 activation results in a significant induction of interferon-gamma levels (PubMed:7506726)

La glicoproteina CD7 è una proteina transmembrana di 40 kDa presente sulle cellule staminali del midollo osseo, ma anche su Tlinfociti T e . La sua funzione non è ancora stata sufficientemente indagata, ma sembra che sia implicata nell'apoptosi dei linfociti T mediata da galectina-1. È anche conosciuta come gp40.
