| Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 12902 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables complement receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within with a negative effect on complement activation, alternative pathway. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to lipopolysaccharide; immunoglobulin mediated immune response; and skeletal system development. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; hemolymphoid system; liver; placenta; and yolk sac. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in common variable immunodeficiency 7; nasopharynx carcinoma; and systemic lupus erythematosus. Orthologous to human CR2 (complement C3d receptor 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations exhibit impaired humoral immune responses to T cell-dependent antigens, with limited affinity maturation, and reduced memory B cell and germinal center formation.
