T-cell differentiation antigen CD6, also known as TP12 and CD6, is a single-pass type I membrane protein which contains threeSRCR domains. CD6 / TP12 is a cell surface glycoprotein expressed primarily on T cells, it may function as a costimulatory molecule and may play a role in autoreactive immune responses. CD6 / TP12 is expressed by thymocytes, mature T-cells, a subset of B-cells known as B-1 cells, and by some cells in the brain. CD6 ligand termed CD166 (previously known as activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule, ALCAM ) has been identified and shown to be expressed on activated T cells, B cells, thymic epithelium, keratinocytes, and in rheumatoid arthritis synovial tissue. CD6 / TP12 binds to activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule ( CD166 ), and is considered as a costimulatory molecule involved in lymphocyte activation and thymocyte development. CD6 / TP12 partially associates with an the TCR / CD3 complex and colocalizes with an it at the center of the mature immunological synapse (IS) on T lymphocytes. During thymic development CD6-dependent signals may contribute both to thymocyte survival, and to the overall functional avidity of selection in both man and Mouse.

CD6 is a member of the group B scavenger receptor cysteinerich(SRCR) superfamily. CD6 is a type I membrane glycoprotein and contains three extracellularSRCR domains. CD6 is expressed at low levels on immature thymocytes and at high levels on mature thymocytes. The majority of peripheral blood T cells, a subsetof B cells, and a subset of neuronal cells express CD6. Mouse CD6 is a 626 amino acid (aa) protein with a 24 aa sequence, a 372 aa extracellular domain, and a204 aa cytoplasmic region. The role of CD6 has not been fully elucidated. However, it appears to play a role as both a costimulatorymolecule in T cell activation and as an adhesion receptor.CD6/ALCAM interactions have been postulated to play a role in thymocyte development. The CD6 intracellular domain contains regions that can interact with SH2 or SH3 containing proteins. However,the signaling pathways have not been elucidated.
