UniProt data
UniProt name: SCIMP_HUMAN (Q6UWF3)
Gene name: SCIMP; Synonyms=C17orf87; ORFNames=UNQ5783/PRO16090
Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Function: Lipid tetraspanin-associated transmembrane adapter/mediator involved in major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II signaling transduction. Required in generating the calcium response and enhancing ERK activity upon MHC-II stimulation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21930792}.
Subcellular location: Membrane {ECO:0000305}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. Membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21930792}; Lipid-anchor {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21930792}. Note=Together with MHC-II, associates with lipid-enriched microdomains called tetraspanin-enriched microdomains (TEMs). Rapidly translocates into immunological synapse (IS) at cell-cell contacts between antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and T-cells. Colocalized with tetraspanins CD37, CD53, and CD81 at the uropod. Present at regions of cell-cell contacts but also at the leading edge of migrating cells.
Transmembrane domains:
- 19-39, 21 AA, Helical. {ECO:0000255}.
Sequence: 145 AA
