MS4A1 membrane spanning 4-domains A1

Gene ID: 931, updated on 17-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: B1; S7; Bp35; CD20; FMC7; CVID5; LEU-16

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the membrane-spanning 4A gene family. Members of this nascent protein family are characterized by common structural features and similar intron/exon splice boundaries and display unique expression patterns among hematopoietic cells and nonlymphoid tissues. This gene encodes a B-lymphocyte surface molecule which plays a role in the development and differentiation of B-cells into plasma cells. This family member is localized to 11q12, among a cluster of family members. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants which encode the same protein.
