VSIG4 V-set and immunoglobulin domain containing 4

Gene ID: 11326, updated on 5-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CRIg; Z39IG

Summary

This gene encodes a v-set and immunoglobulin-domain containing protein that is structurally related to the B7 family of immune regulatory proteins. The encoded protein may be a negative regulator of T-cell responses. This protein is also a receptor for the complement component 3 fragments C3b and iC3b. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
