Function

B-lymphocyte-specific membrane protein that plays a role in the regulation of cellular calcium influx necessary for the development, differentiation, and activation of B-lymphocytes (PubMed:12920111, PubMed:3925015, PubMed:7684739). Functions as a store-operated calcium (SOC) channel component promoting calcium influx after activation by the B-cell receptor/BCR (PubMed:12920111, PubMed:18474602, PubMed:7684739).

Involvement in disease

Immunodeficiency, common variable, 5

CVID5

A primary immunodeficiency characterized by antibody deficiency, hypogammaglobulinemia, recurrent bacterial infections and an inability to mount an antibody response to antigen. The defect results from a failure of B-cell differentiation and impaired secretion of immunoglobulins; the numbers of circulating B-cells is usually in the normal range, but can be low.

None

The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Post-translational modifications

Phosphorylated on serines and threonines in resting B-cells. Protein kinase C/PKC can use CD20 as substrate.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the MS4A family.

Tissue specificity

Expressed on B-cells.

Cellular localization

  • Cell membrane
  • Multi-pass membrane protein
  • Cell membrane
  • Lipid-anchor
  • Constitutively associated with membrane rafts.

Alternative names
