Membrane-spanning 4A

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from MS4A)

Membrane-spanning 4A genes are members of the CD20-like family. The MS4A genes are usually organized in a single genomic clusters in mammals, suggestive of gene duplication events.[1] MS4A genes encode a class of four-transmembrane spanning proteins. MS4A genes have been described to act as a specific kind of olfactory receptor in the necklace olfactory sensory neurons in mice (Mus musculus).[2]

In human (Homo sapiens) the members of this family include:
