Function

Serves as a receptor for ospA protein of B.burgdorferi, the Lyme disease agent. Required for spirochetal colonization. Essential for pathogen adherence to the vector.

Biological Context

Subcellular Location: Cell membrane
Tissue Specificity: Specifically expressed in gut. Localizes predominantly in the intercellular spaces and luminal surface of the gut. In the gut, it localizes along tight junctions. Not expressed in salivary gland or hemolymph
