Description
BLAST1 is the designation used for an activation-associated cell surface glycoprotein of 40 to 45 kD expressed primarily in mitogen-stimulated human lymphocytes. The protein sequence predicted by the cDNA encoding BLAST1 indicates that BLAST1 is a member of the immunoglobulin supergene family. Yokoyama (1991) identified the BLAST1 activation/adhesion molecule as CD48.
