Abstract

CD74 is a type II cell surface protein that was previously shown to play a role in antigen presentation and as a receptor for the cytokine macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF). Studies from recent years demonstrate an important role for CD74 in maintenance of innate and adaptive immune cells. This chapter discusses the MIF/CD74-dependent role in regulating cell survival, metabolism, adhesion, and response to hypoxia in health and disease.
