T-cell differentiation antigen CD6 is a human protein encoded by the CD6 gene.Contributes to signaling cascades triggered by activation of the TCR/CD3 complex . Functions as costimulatory molecule; promotes T-cell activation and proliferation . Contributes to the formation and maturation of the immunological synapse . Functions as calcium-dependent pattern receptor that binds and aggregates both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Binds both lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Gram-negative bacteria and lipoteichoic acid from Gram-positive bacteria . LPS binding leads to the activation of signaling cascades and down-stream MAP kinases . Mediates activation of the inflammatory response and the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines in response to LPS .
