Function
(Microbial infection) Acts as a coreceptor with CXCR4 for a restricted number of HIV isolates.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cell membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein); Early endosome; Recycling endosome
Tissue Specificity: Expressed in monocytes, basophils, B-cells, umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and B-lymphoblastoid cells. Lower expression detected in CD4+ T-lymphocytes and natural killer cells. In the brain, detected in endothelial cells and capillaries, and in mature neurons of the frontal cortex and hippocampus. Expressed in tubular formation in the kidney. Highly expressed in astroglial tumor endothelial, microglial and glioma cells. Expressed at low levels in normal CD34+ progenitor cells, but at very high levels in several myeloid malignant cell lines. Expressed in breast carcinomas but not in normal breast tissue (at protein level)
Disease Association: Oculomotor-abducens synkinesis (OCABSN) : An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by ptosis and elevation of the eyelid on ipsilateral abduction. OCABSN features are consistent with abnormal innervation of the levator palpebrae superioris muscle, which raises the eyelid, and the lateral rectus muscle, which controls lateral eye movement. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry]
