The protein encoded by this gene is a single-pass type I membrane protein and member of the immunoglobulin superfamily of receptors. The encoded protein may be involved in the regulation of antigen presentation. A soluble form of this protein can bind to dendritic cells and inhibit their maturation. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.CD83 (CD83 Molecule) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with CD83 include Exanthema Subitum and Specific Bursitis Often Of Occupational Origin. Among its related pathways are T cell receptor signaling pathway and B Cell Development Pathways.
