CD2 is involved in regulating cyclic AMP levels in T cells.
The human T lymphocyte-specific CD2 (T11) molecule, that regulates T cell activation, is capable of mediating increases of intracellular cAMP. Monoclonal antibodies directed to different epitopes of the CD2 molecule which either induce or inhibit T cell proliferation are capable of triggering an increase of cAMP comparable to that induced by reagents which activate adenylate cyclase. These results indicate that there is a relationship between the CD2 membrane molecule and the adenylate cyclase system.
