About CD74

Cytogenetic location: 5q33.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 5:150,401,639-150,412,910 (from NCBI)

This gene has 12 transcripts (splice variants), 207 orthologues and is associated with 57 phenotypes. Broad expression in spleen (RPKM 1835.3), lymph node (RPKM 1421.7) and 24 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene associates with class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and is an important chaperone that regulates antigen presentation for immune response. It also serves as cell surface receptor for the cytokine macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) which, when bound to the encoded protein, initiates survival pathways and cell proliferation. This protein also interacts with amyloid precursor protein (APP) and suppresses the production of amyloid beta (Abeta). Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]
