Disease relevance of MS4A7

 

High impact information on MS4A7

  • Another distinct characteristic is that CFFM4 mRNA expression is not limited to the hematopoietic lineage [1].
  • The CFFM4 gene contains seven exons and six introns and is transcribed into an mRNA encoding a 240-amino acid protein with four hydrophobic regions [1].
  • However, the CFFM4 protein can be distinguished from the other members of the family based on the length of the second extracellular loop and the absence of an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif signal [1].
  • Such results indicate that CFFM4 is associated with mature cellular function in the monocytic lineage and like CD20 and FcepsilonRIbeta, it may be a component of a receptor complex involved in signal transduction [1].
