Name

OPLL Gene

ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament of spine

FDCSP Gene

follicular dendritic cell secreted protein

This gene encodes a small secreted protein that is expressed in follicular dendritic cells. This protein specifically binds to activated B cells, and functions as a regulator of antibody responses. It is also thought to contribute to tumor metastases by promoting cancer cell migration and invasion. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]

LOC266683 Gene

dendritic cell protein pseudogene

DCANP1 Gene

dendritic cell-associated nuclear protein

This intronless gene is specifically expressed in dendritic cells (DCs), which are potent antigen-presenting cells involved in activating naive T cells to initiate antigen-specific immune response. The encoded protein is localized mainly in the perinucleus. One of the alleles (A/T) of this gene, that causes premature translation termination at aa 117, has been associated with an increased prevalence of major depression in humans.
