CATEGORY

immunity/defense , receptor

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	plasma membrane
text	type 1 membrane protein

basic FUNCTION	maintaining gamma immune system homeostasis through negative regulation of immune responses
	involved in a variety of effector and regulatory functions such as phagocytosis of immune complexes and modulation of antibody production by B- cells
	negative regulator of antibody production and inflammatory responses
	may be having a prominent role in dendritic cell activity in response to interaction with particulate autoantigens (McGaha 2008)
	contains an ITIM motif and negatively regulates BCR signaling

Susceptibility

to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) to malaria

Variant & Polymorphism SNP	I232T increased in SLE patients (decreasing affinity to lipid rafts and attenuating inhibitory effects on B cell receptor signaling)
	homozygous -343 C/C genotype in the promoter is more frequent in SLE patients
	343G/C promoter polymorphism associated with SLE
	a SNP abrogates receptor function and is strongly associated with susceptibility to SLE, but also associated with substantial protection against severe malaria (Willcocks 2010)
