Editing CD53

'''CD53''' is a [[protein]] that in humans is encoded by the '''CD53''' [[gene]]. CD53 is a member of the [[tetraspanin]] family, a group of proteins involved in various cellular processes including cell adhesion and signal transduction. 

== Function ==
CD53 is a [[cell surface glycoprotein]] that is known to complex with integrins. It contributes to the transduction of CD2-generated signals in T cells and natural killer cells and has been suggested to play a role in growth regulation.

== Clinical significance ==
[[Mutations]] in the CD53 gene have been associated with recurrent [[infections]], suggesting a role in the immune system's response to pathogens. Further research is needed to fully understand the implications of these mutations and their potential role in immune disorders.

== Interactions ==
CD53 has been shown to [[Protein-protein interaction|interact]] with:
* [[CD81]]
* [[CD82]]
* [[CD9]]
