Also known as polymeric immunoglobulin receptor

protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens

Gene data

PIGR
Name
polymeric immunoglobulin receptor
Type
protein-coding

This gene is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. The encoded poly-Ig receptor binds polymeric immunoglobulin molecules at the basolateral surface of epithelial cells; the complex is then transported across the cell to be secreted at the apical surface. A significant association was found between immunoglobulin A nephropathy and several SNPs in this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009].
