Product details
Background:This gene encodes a member of the membrane-spanning 4A gene family. Members ofThis 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 ofThis gene results in two transcript variants which encode the same protein. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
