CD19

HGNC ID: 1633

Target Abstract:

CD19 is a 95kDa transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. It is expressed in various stages of B cell development, except for plasma cells. CD19 forms a complex with CD21, CD81, and MHC II molecules and plays a role in the activation of immature B cells through interaction with the B cell receptor. CD19 promotes B cell proliferation, development, and activation, as well as the maturation of memory B cells. In mice lacking CD19, both bone marrow and peripheral B cell generation and maturation are impaired.

Human CD19 Predicted Functions

Involved in several processes, including B cell proliferation involved in immune response; positive regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity; and positive regulation of release of sequestered calcium ion into cytosol. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Is integral component of plasma membrane. Part of protein-containing complex. Implicated in common variable immunodeficiency.

Mouse Cd19 Target Information

Mouse Cd19 Predicted Functions

Involved in several processes, including B-1 B cell differentiation; positive regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity; and positive regulation of release of sequestered calcium ion into cytosol. Acts upstream of or within B cell receptor signaling pathway. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Is integral component of plasma membrane. Is expressed in liver and spleen. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in common variable immunodeficiency. Orthologous to human CD19 (CD19 molecule).
