Summary: This gene encodes a member of the membrane-spanning 4A family. The encoded protein is the beta subunit of the high affinity IgE receptor and is localized to the membrane. The encoded protein is required for full activation of mast cells, including the release of histamine. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
