(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID931
Official gene symbolMS4A1
Full namemembrane-spanning 4-domains, subfamily A, member 1
Aliases,B1,Bp35,CD20,LEU-16,MGC3969,MS4A2,S7,
Gene summaryThis 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. [provided by RefSeq]
