CD7 (Cluster of Differentiation 7) is a human protein encoded by the CD7 gene.[1]

This gene encodes a transmembrane protein which is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. This protein is found on thymocytes and mature T cells. It plays an essential role in T-cell interactions and also in T-cell/B-cell interaction during early lymphoid development.[1]
