Function
(Microbial infection) Acts as a coreceptor with CD4 for HIV-1 virus envelope protein. May have more potent HIV-1 coreceptor activity than isoform 1.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cell membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein)
Tissue Specificity: Expressed in lymphoid and neural tissues. Expressed in lymphocyte subsets, such as natural killer (NK) cells, gamma-delta T-cells and terminally differentiated CD8(+) T-cells. Expressed in smooth muscle cells in atherosclerotic plaques
Disease Association: Macular degeneration, age-related, 12 (ARMD12) : A form of age-related macular degeneration, a multifactorial eye disease and the most common cause of irreversible vision loss in the developed world. In most patients, the disease is manifest as ophthalmoscopically visible yellowish accumulations of protein and lipid that lie beneath the retinal pigment epithelium and within an elastin-containing structure known as Bruch membrane.
