Human T-cell Antigen CD7, CD7 ELI

CD7 (Cluster of Differentiation 7) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CD7 gene.

This gene encodes a transmembrane protein which is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily.

This protein is found on thymocytes and mature T cells.

It plays an essential role in T-cell interactions and also in T-cell/B-cell interaction during early lymphoid development.
