We report the isolation and characterization of a novel cDNA IGSF3 that contains a 3648-bp open reading frame encoding an apparent immunoglobulin (Ig)-like membrane protein characterized by eight Ig domains. IGSF3 has an overall structural similarity and strong sequence similarity to V7, a human leukocyte surface protein. The IGSF3 mRNA is highly expressed in placenta, kidney, and lung, but is also present in a wide range of other human tissues. Although a small internal sequence of the IGSF3 cDNA hybridizes to a YAC derived from the centromeric region of chromosome 21, in situ hybridization experiments on human metaphase chromosomes show that the gene corresponding to the long cDNA that we cloned is located in chromosome band 1p13 and that related sequences are located on chromosomes 2 and 13. These data serve to emphasize the potential difficulties in transcriptional mapping in centromeric regions.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007136 Immunoglobulins Multi-subunit proteins which function in IMMUNITY. They are produced by B LYMPHOCYTES from the IMMUNOGLOBULIN GENES. They are comprised of two heavy (IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS) and two light chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) with additional ancillary polypeptide chains depending on their isoforms. The variety of isoforms include monomeric or polymeric forms, and transmembrane forms (B-CELL ANTIGEN RECEPTORS) or secreted forms (ANTIBODIES). They are divided by the amino acid sequence of their heavy chains into five classes (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A; IMMUNOGLOBULIN D; IMMUNOGLOBULIN E; IMMUNOGLOBULIN G; IMMUNOGLOBULIN M) and various subclasses.
