Signal transducer CD24 (Cd24)

May have a pivotal role in cell differentiation of different cell types. Signaling could be triggered by the binding of a lectin-like ligand into the CD24 carbohydrates, and transduced by the release of second messengers derived from the GPI-anchor.

Modulates B-cell activation answers. In association with SIGLEC10 might be involved in the selective suppression of the immune response to danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) such as HMGB1, HSP70 and HSP90.
