CD21 (Cluster of differentiation 21, Complement receptor 2, CR2)

CD21 is a 145 kDa transmembrane protein that contains 15 tandem SCR/SUSHI repeats. CD21 is primarily expressed on B cells, follicular dendritic cells, and T cells. It binds the complement component fragments iC3b, C3d, and C3d,g and forms complexes with CD19 and CD35. CD21 is required for germinal center development, antibody production, and B cell tolerance. It also functions as a cellular uptake receptor for Epstein-Barr virus.
