Leukocyte associated protein consists of two polypeptide chains with molecular weights of 95 and 170kD. The molecule functions as a cell surface receptor for the C3bi complement fragment. It belongs to family of heterodimeric proteins (designated CD11), which share a common chain CD18 of 95kD. The chain component of the leukocyte- associated antigen is expressed on granulocytes, monocytes and macrophages.
