MS4A1

HGNC ID: 7315

Target Abstract:

CD20 is a phosphorylated protein molecule with a molecular weight of 33-37 kD, expressed in B lymphocytes and their precursors, but not in the earliest progenitor cells, and weakly expressed in follicular dendritic cells and a few T cells. It is mainly involved in regulating the proliferation and differentiation of B lymphocytes and plays an important role in the immune system. CD20 has been used as a target for immunotherapy of Hodgkin lymphoma due to its expression characteristics on the surface of malignant B cells and its non-endocytosis when binding with antibodies.

Human MS4A1 Predicted Functions

Enables identical protein binding activity and immunoglobulin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including B cell receptor signaling pathway; calcium ion transport; and protein tetramerization. Located in cell surface; nucleoplasm; and plasma membrane raft. Implicated in common variable immunodeficiency.

Mouse Ms4a1 Target Information

Mouse Ms4a1 Predicted Functions

Predicted to enable epidermal growth factor receptor binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and immunoglobulin binding activity. Involved in calcium ion import into cytosol. Acts upstream of or within response to bacterium. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; hemolymphoid system gland; liver and biliary system; and reproductive system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in common variable immunodeficiency. Orthologous to human MS4A1 (membrane spanning 4-domains A1).
