Pigr - polymeric immunoglobulin receptor Gene

About Pigr

Summary

Predicted to enable epidermal growth factor receptor binding activity and polymeric immunoglobulin receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cell surface receptor signaling pathway; detection of chemical stimulus involved in sensory perception of bitter taste; and immunoglobulin transcytosis in epithelial cells mediated by polymeric immunoglobulin receptor. Predicted to be located in extracellular space; recycling endosome membrane; and transport vesicle. Predicted to be part of receptor complex and secretory IgA immunoglobulin complex. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Orthologous to human PIGR (polymeric immunoglobulin receptor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
