Disease relevance of FCRL2

 

High impact information on FCRL2

  • In healthy individuals, IRTA4/FcRH2 protein expression was associated with a CD19+CD27+ memory cell phenotype [2].
  • FcRH2/IRTA4 was expressed preferentially in memory B cells [3].
  • The model comprised CHObeta2 SPAP cells; Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing human beta2 adrenoceptors and a secreted placental alkaline phosphatase (SPAP) reporter gene with multiple cAMP response elements (CREs) in its promoter region [4].
  • SPAP assays showed DMI to inhibit isoprenaline or forskolin-enhanced gene transcription in a time and concentration-dependent manner (IC50=16.6+/-2.0 microM after 18 h) [4].
  • By transfection analysis with a plasmid containing the -614/+804 human apoE gene fused to the secreted placental alkaline phosphatase (SPAP) reporter gene, we showed that the SPAP activity was decreased by 50% when HepG2 cells were incubated in the presence of db-cAMP or forskolin, indicating that this promoter region mediated this negative effect [5].
 

Biological context of FCRL2

  • Sequence alignment with the genomic database revealed that the SPAP1 gene contains seven exons and is localized at chromosome 1q21 [6].
  • Using transfection analysis with a plasmid construct containing the -1378/+11 apo A-I promoter fused to the secreted placental alkaline phosphatase (SPAP) reporter gene, we showed that the SPAP activity was decreased to 50% when Hep G2 cells were incubated in the presence of TPA [7].
