Function

CD23 or low affinity immunoglobulin epsilon Fc receptor or Fc fragment of IgE receptor II is a low affinity receptor of IgE and serves as an adhesion molecule involved in cell-cell interaction[1]. (4gko).

Disease

CD23 may be involved in the proliferation of leukemic B cells[2].

Relevance

CD23 is considered important in the differentiation of chronic lymphocytic leukemia[3].
