CD19 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein of the immunoglobulin superfamily, serving as a B cell-specific marker. It is continuously expressed throughout B cell development but disappears upon terminal differentiation into plasma cells.

CD19 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein of the immunoglobulin superfamily, serving as a B cell-specific marker. It is continuously expressed throughout B cell development but disappears upon terminal differentiation into plasma cells. As it lacks intrinsic kinase activity, CD19 needs to form a B cell co-receptor complex with proteins such as CD21 and CD81 to function. Acting as a co-receptor for the B cell receptor (BCR), when the BCR recognizes an antigen, CD19 cooperates to bring the antigen protein closer and strengthens binding. It then rapidly activates kinases like Lyn, which are connected to its intracellular domain, while powerfully recruiting and activating key downstream signaling molecules such as PI3K, Vav, and PLC-γ. Through this mechanism, CD19 enhances BCR-mediated signal transduction, significantly lowers the activation threshold for B cells, and makes immune responses more sensitive and efficient.
