Description
Predicted to enable cholesterol binding activity; signaling receptor binding activity; and virus receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to low-density lipoprotein particle stimulus; positive regulation of immune response; and syncytium formation by plasma membrane fusion. Acts upstream of or within regulation of cell motility. Located in membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in common variable immunodeficiency. Orthologous to human CD81 (CD81 molecule).
