ICAM2, the second LFA-1 ligand, is an integral membrane protein with two Ig-like domains. It mediates adhesive interactions important for antigen-specific immune response, NK-cell mediated clearance, lymphocyte recirculation, and other cellular interactions important for immune response and surveillance.
