Recognizes mouse and rat CD81, also known as TAPA-1 or Target of the antiproliferative antibody 1. CD81 is a 236 amino acid ~26 kD multipass transmembrane protein belonging to the TM4SF family. In rodents CD81 is expressed at much higher levels on resting B cells than on T cells, although increased expression on T cells is found following activation. Induces homotypic aggregation of B cells and inhibits anti Ig and IL-4 induced proliferation. Eat 2 requires the presence of both extracellular loops of TAPA-1 for binding. Mice lacking CD81 demonstrate reduced fertility through impaired oocyte-sperm fusion, double knockout CD81-/- CD9-/- mice are completely infertile suggesting complementary roles in oocyte-sperm fusion.
