Protein Function
Involved in T-cell adhesion processes. Plays a role in a late step of leukocyte extravasation helping leukocytes to overcome the endothelial basement membrane. Acts at the same site as, but independently of, PECAM1.
Background
CD99 antigen (Cluster of differentiation 99), also known as MIC2 or single-chain type-1 glycoprotein, is a heavily O-glycosylated transmembrane protein that is encoded by the CD99 gene in humans. It is mapped to 4; 4. The protein has a mass of 32 kD. Unusually for a gene present on the X chromosome, the CD99 gene does not undergo X inactivation, and it was the first such pseudoautosomal gene to be discovered in humans.

Tissue Specificity
Widely expressed with high levels in lung, spleen, thymus, liver and spinal chord. Expressed on leukocytes and endothelial cell contacts. Detected in a wide range of T-cells, including CD4-/CD8- and CD4+/CD8+ thymocytes. Expression is much lower in peripheral T-cells than in thymocytes.
Applications
ELISA
