Strong cytoplasmic and membranous immunoreactivity was observed in malignant lymphomas. Remaining malignant tissues were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
MS4A1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
B1, Bp35, CD20, MS4A2
Description
Membrane-spanning 4-domains, subfamily A, member 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes 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 gene encodes a B-lymphocyte surface molecule which plays a role in the development and differentiation of B-cells into plasma cells. This family member is localized to 11q12, among a cluster of family members. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants which encode the same protein.
