Target
CD20 (MS4A1)
(Membrane-Spanning 4-Domains, Subfamily A, Member 1 (MS4A1))
CD20, also known as MS4A1, is an activated-glycosylated phosphoprotein expressed on the surface of all B-cells beginning at the pro-B phase (CD45R+, CD117+) and progressively increasing in concentration until maturity. It is mapped to 11q12.2. This gene encodes a member of the membrane-spanning 4A gene family. The function of CD20 is to enable optimal B-cell immune response, specifically against T-independent antigens. It is suspected that CD20 acts as a calcium channel in the cell membrane. Additionally, this protein may be involved in the regulation of B-cell activation and proliferation.
