CD5 (T-cell Surface Glycoprotein CD5) (APC)

CD5 is a 67kD type protein and a member of the scavenger receptor cysteine-rich protein superfamily (SRCR). It is expressed on T lymphocytes, thymocytes, and IgM-secreting B cells (B-1 cells). CD5 functions to moderate activation signals from the BCR of B-1 cells in response to activating stimuli.
