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. Functions as a store-operated calcium (SOC) channel component promoting calcium influx after activation by the B-cell receptor/BCR.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cell membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein); Cell membrane (Lipid-anchor)
Tissue Specificity: Expressed on B-cells
Disease Association: 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. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry]
