PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

motifs/domains
  • an extracellular N-terminus
  • a single transmembrane domain
  • a signal peptide
  • YXXM motif crucial for regulating B-cell development in that mutation of these motifs abrogated their ability to induce BCR-mediated AKT activation as well as to promote B-cell development
  • two immunoglobulin-like C2-type domains
  • a cytoplasmic C-terminus
  • conjugated GlycoP

    text type 1 membrane protein
    basic FUNCTION
  • may be involved in growth regulation of B-cells
  • assembling with the antigen receptor of B lymphocytes in order to decrease the threshold for antigen receptor-dependent stimulation
  • essential role for CD19, independent of the costimulatory molecule CD21, in amplifying early B cell activation events in response to membrane-bound ligand stimulation
  • PIK3AP1 and CD19 have complementary roles in BCR-mediated PI3K activation, thereby, at least in part, contributing to B-cell development
  • response regulator of B lymphocytes, regulates wound healing through hyaluronan-induced TLR4 signaling
  • role for complement receptors in B-cell memory independent of CD19
  • B-cell transmembrane molecule that is critical for B-cell activation
  • functions in a complex with CD21, CD81, and CD225 to signal with the B cell receptor upon antigen recognition
  • is critically involved in establishing intrinsic B cell signaling thresholds through modulating both B cell receptor-dependent and independent signaling
  • CD19 positively regulates B cell activation, augmenting signals delivered through the BCR complex
  • CD19 is present throughout the cell life cycle and is uniformly expressed in leukemias

    INTERACTION

    small molecule
    protein
  • importance of interaction of complement receptors and CD19 for coreceptor activity in humoral immunity
  • interaction with CD81 (CD81 gene defect disrupts CD19 complex formation and leads to antibody deficiency)
  • direct target of PAX5 in cells with and without the t(8;21) chromosomal translocation
  • PAX5 binds to the promoter and enhancer of CD19 gene and remodels chromatin structure at the promoter
  • cell & other
