OSCAR - osteoclast associated Ig-like receptor Gene
Also Known as PIGR3; PIgR-3
Species: Homo sapiens
About OSCAR
This gene has 10 transcripts (splice variants), 1 gene allele, 224 orthologues and 25 paralogues. Biased expression in lung (RPKM 7.4), bone marrow (RPKM 7.3) and 12 other tissues.
Summary
Osteoclasts are multinucleated cells that resorb bone and are essential for bone homeostasis. This gene encodes an osteoclast-associated receptor (OSCAR), which is a member of the leukocyte receptor complex protein family that plays critical roles in the regulation of both innate and adaptive immune responses. The encoded protein may play a role in oxidative stress-mediated atherogenesis as well as monocyte adhesion. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2013]
