Ms4a3 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Summary:This gene encodes a member of the membrane-spanning-four (MS4) protein group, that contain a four-transmembrane protein structure. This gene is expressed in developing hematopoietic cells and has also been observed in some regions of the adult brain. Expression of the human ortholog of this gene has also been observed in some human cancer cell lines. This protein may play a role in cell cycle regulation, and interactions have been demonstrated between Ms4a3 and KAP phosphatase. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Ms4a3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
