A novel FcεRIβ‐chain truncation regulates human mast cell proliferation and survival
16 Jun 2010
Abstract excerpt
Mast cells contribute to allergy through IgE-dependent activation via the high-affinity IgE receptor FcεRI. The role of the FcεRIβ chain (MS4A2) in mast cell function is not understood fully, although it serves to amplify FcεRI-dependent signaling. We demonstrate the expression of a novel MS4A2 truncation lacking exon 3 in human mast cells termed MS4A2(trunc). MS4A2(trunc) gene expression was regulated negatively...
