About JCHAIN

Cytogenetic location: 4q13.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 4:70,655,541-70,666,508 (from NCBI)

This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants) and 126 orthologues. Biased expression in colon (RPKM 2264.9), duodenum (RPKM 2014.1) and 10 other tissues.

Summary

Enables IgA binding activity and protein homodimerization activity. Contributes to several functions, including immunoglobulin receptor binding activity; peptidoglycan binding activity; and phosphatidylcholine binding activity. Involved in several processes, including defense response to other organism; glomerular filtration; and positive regulation of respiratory burst. Located in extracellular space. Part of monomeric IgA immunoglobulin complex; pentameric IgM immunoglobulin complex; and secretory dimeric IgA immunoglobulin complex. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
