Background:
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.
Alternate Names:
Hepatocellular carcinoma associated protein TB6; Phosphatidylinositol glycan, class R; PIgR; Poly Ig receptor; Polymeric immunoglobulin receptor; PIGR_Hu.
