CD56, also known as neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM), is a part of the immunoglobulin superfamily of adhesion molecules and mediates homophilic interactions through its extracellular region. It is used as a marker fordetection of T-LGL (T-Large Granular Lymphocyte) lymphoproliferative disorders and NK cells. CD56 is also known as a marker of neural lineage due to its discovery site. For example, astrocytoma, neuroblastoma or small cell carcinoma of lung are CD56-positive. [1-6]
