    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane
    basic FUNCTION
  • playing a role in regulating activation of normal B cells and possibly in the development of neoplasia
  • playing a role in the immune function of B cells within epithelia
  • may act as a molecular switch in B cells to dampen adaptive immune signaling and enhance innate signaling in response to chronic antigenic stimulation
  • function to costimulate or inhibit BCR signaling through consensus ITAMs and ITIMs
  • FCRL4 and FCRL5 are likely to be important for immune complex-dependent human B cell regulation
