MS4A2
gene geneOn this page
Summary
MS4A2 (membrane spanning 4-domains A2, HGNC:7316) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 11q12.1, encoding High affinity immunoglobulin epsilon receptor subunit beta (Q01362). High affinity receptor that binds to the Fc region of immunoglobulins epsilon.
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.

Function. High affinity receptor that binds to the Fc region of immunoglobulins epsilon. Aggregation of FCER1 by multivalent antigens is required for the full mast cell response, including the release of preformed mediators (such as histamine) by degranulation and de novo production of lipid mediators and cytokines. Also mediates the secretion of important lymphokines. Binding of allergen to receptor-bound IgE leads to cell activation and the release of mediators responsible for the manifestations of allergy.
Subunit / interactions. Tetramer of an alpha chain, a beta chain, and two disulfide linked gamma chains. Binds LILRB1. Interacts with FGR, FES/FPS and LYN.
Subcellular location. Membrane.
Tissue specificity. Found on the surface of mast cells and basophils.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated on tyrosine residues by LYN.
Polymorphism. Variant Glu-237 has been found to be present in about 5.3% of a 1004 individuals population sample in Australia.
Similarity. Belongs to the MS4A family.
