About MS4A2

Cytogenetic location: 11q12.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 11:60,088,259-60,098,467 (from NCBI)

This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 358 orthologues, 16 paralogues and is associated with 1 phenotype. Biased expression in lung (RPKM 8.1), gall bladder (RPKM 5.4) and 13 other tissues.

Summary

The allergic response involves the binding of allergen to receptor-bound IgE followed by cell activation and the release of mediators responsible for the manifestations of allergy. The IgE-receptor, a tetramer composed of an alpha, beta, and 2 disulfide-linked gamma chains, is found on the surface of mast cells and basophils. This gene encodes the beta subunit of the high affinity IgE receptor which is 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 family member is localized to 11q12, among a cluster of membrane-spanning 4A gene family members. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct proteins. Additional transcript variants have been described but require experimental validation. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012]
