bone marrow stromal cell antigen 2
Symbol
BST2
(may also be known as: None)
Organism
Human
Description
Bone marrow stromal cells are involved in the growth and development of B-cells. The specific function of the protein encoded by the bone marrow stromal cell antigen 2 is undetermined; however, this protein may play a role in pre-B-cell growth and in rheumatoid arthritis.
