Summaries for MS4A2 Gene

Entrez Gene Summary for MS4A2 Gene

  • 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. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012]

GeneCards Summary for MS4A2 Gene

MS4A2 (Membrane Spanning 4-Domains A2) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with MS4A2 include Ige Responsiveness, Atopic and Hand Dermatosis. Among its related pathways are Innate Immune System and Immune response Fc epsilon RI pathway. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include protein kinase binding and SH2 domain binding. An important paralog of this gene is MS4A3.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for MS4A2 Gene

  • 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.
