Pigr - polymeric immunoglobulin receptor Gene

Also Known as pIgA-R; RNPIGR2

Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 25046

Summary

Enables epidermal growth factor receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cell surface receptor signaling pathway; detection of chemical stimulus involved in sensory perception of bitter taste; and immunoglobulin transcytosis in epithelial cells mediated by polymeric immunoglobulin receptor. Located in recycling endosome membrane and transport vesicle. Orthologous to human PIGR (polymeric immunoglobulin receptor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
