关于 MMD

功能概要

这种蛋白质由体外分化的巨噬细胞表达，但不由新鲜分离的单核细胞表达。虽然序列分析确定了七个潜在的跨膜结构域，但该蛋白与 G 蛋白受体几乎没有同源性，并且尚未被肯定地鉴定为受体。建议的替代功能是成熟巨噬细胞中离子通道蛋白的功能。[RefSeq 提供，2008 年 7 月]

This protein is expressed by in vitro differentiated macrophages but not freshly isolated monocytes. Although sequence analysis identifies seven potential transmembrane domains, this protein has little homology to G-protein receptors and it has not been positively identified as a receptor. A suggested alternative function is that of an ion channel protein in maturing macrophages. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
