[3] The protein is constitutively expressed on the surface of leukocytes, which are also called white blood cells and are part of the immune system.
[6][9][10] ICAM3 is a 110–160 kDa protein that belongs to the intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM) family.
[10] These altered proteins allow macrophages to specifically target and bind apoptotic cells.
[11] ICAM3 has been shown to interact with activated ERM proteins, including ezrin (EZR) and moesin, in T cells.
