{"symbol":"MMD","synonyms":["MMA","PAQR11"],"name":"monocyte to macrophage differentiation-associated","description":"This protein is expressed by in vitro differentiated macrophages but not freshly isolated monocytes. Although sequence analysis identifies seven potential transmembrane domains, this protein has little homology to G-protein receptors and it has not been positively identified as a receptor. A suggested alternative function is that of an ion channel protein in maturing macrophages.
