Name

HPGDS Gene

hematopoietic prostaglandin D synthase

Prostaglandin-D synthase is a sigma class glutathione-S-transferase family member. The enzyme catalyzes the conversion of PGH2 to PGD2 and plays a role in the production of prostanoids in the immune system and mast cells. The presence of this enzyme can be used to identify the differentiation stage of human megakaryocytes. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

HCLS1 Gene

hematopoietic cell-specific Lyn substrate 1

Enables RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; protein kinase binding activity; and signaling adaptor activity. Involved in several processes, including granulocyte colony-stimulating factor signaling pathway; positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; and positive regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction. Located in cytosol; nucleus; and plasma membrane. Part of transcription regulator complex. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

CLNK Gene

cytokine-dependent hematopoietic cell linker

MIST is a member of the SLP76 family of adaptors (see LCP2, MIM 601603; BLNK, MIM 604515). MIST plays a role in the regulation of immunoreceptor signaling, including PLC-gamma (PLCG1; MIM 172420)-mediated B cell antigen receptor (BCR) signaling and FC-epsilon R1 (see FCER1A, MIM 147140)-mediated mast cell degranulation (Cao et al., 1999 [PubMed 10562326]; Goitsuka et al., 2000, 2001 [PubMed 10744659] [PubMed 11463797]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]

HCST Gene

hematopoietic cell signal transducer

This gene encodes a transmembrane signaling adaptor that contains a YxxM motif in its cytoplasmic domain. The encoded protein may form part of the immune recognition receptor complex with the C-type lectin-like receptor NKG2D. As part of this receptor complex, this protein may activate phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase dependent signaling pathways through its intracytoplasmic YxxM motif. This receptor complex may have a role in cell survival and proliferation by activation of NK and T cell responses. Alternative splicing results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms.

MS4A3 Gene

membrane-spanning 4-domains, subfamily A, member 3 (hematopoietic cell-specific)

This gene encodes a member of the membrane-spanning 4A gene family. Members of this protein family are characterized by common structural features and similar intron/exon splice boundaries and display unique expression patterns among hematopoietic cells and nonlymphoid tissues. This family member likely plays a role in signal transduction and may function as a subunit associated with receptor complexes. The gene encoding this protein is localized to 11q12, among a cluster of related family members. Alternative splicing may result in multiple transcript variants; however, not all variants have been fully described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

HSH2D Gene

hematopoietic SH2 domain containing

T-cell activation requires 2 signals: recognition of antigen by the T-cell receptor (see TCR; MIM 186880) and a costimulatory signal provided primarily by CD28 (MIM 186760) in naive T cells. HSH2 is a target of both of these signaling pathways (Greene et al., 2003 [PubMed 12960172]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
