What's a GeneRIF?

IgE-ICs are noninflammatory through reduced engagement by FcepsilonRI but increased targeting of the CD23 pathway.
Title: CD23 provides a noninflammatory pathway for IgE-allergen complexes.
Human and murine P2X7 activation induces the rapid shedding of CD23 from B cells, with a potential role for ADAM10 in this process.
Title: Activation of the P2X7 receptor induces the rapid shedding of CD23 from human and murine B cells.
CD23 was shown to be sorted in an ADAM10-dependent manner into exosomes.
Title: CD23 Sheddase A disintegrin and metalloproteinase 10 (ADAM10) is also required for CD23 sorting into B cell-derived exosomes.
B cells captured IgE by direct binding to the low-affinity IgE receptor, CD23.
Title: Murine B cells regulate serum IgE levels in a CD23-dependent manner.
CD23 is an important regulatory factor for IgE production
Title: 129/SvJ mice have mutated CD23 and hyper IgE.
BAFF does not preferentially induce the expression of CD23 or CD21.
Title: Analysis of the regulatory role of BAFF in controlling the expression of CD21 and CD23.
After exposure for 10 consecutive days to nebulized ovalbumin challenge, mice with disrupted Fc epsilon RI alpha subunit show low response to electrical field stimulation, less airway inflammation and goblet cell hyperplasia, and lower IL-13 in the lung.
Title: Mast cells, Fc epsilon RI, and IL-13 are required for development of airway hyperresponsiveness after aerosolized allergen exposure in the absence of adjuvant.
mechanism by which endogenous B cell activity in vivo is regulated by norepinephrine involves stimulation of the beta2-adrenergic receptor on the B cell alone to increase the level of IgE produced in a p38 MAPK- and soluble CD23-dependent manner
Title: The level of IgE produced by a B cell is regulated by norepinephrine in a p38 MAPK- and CD23-dependent manner.
A positive internalization signal for IgE transepithelial transport is localized in the cytoplasmic region shared by all CD23 splice forms. This positive signal is negatively regulated by the intracellular CD23b-specific exon.
Title: Intracellular trafficking of CD23: differential regulation in humans and mice by both extracellular and intracellular exons.
Overall, the data provide a direct demonstration for CD23's role in regulating IgE production in vivo and suggest that therapies aimed at stabilizing cell surface CD23 would be beneficial in controlling allergic disease.
Title: In vivo murine CD23 destabilization enhances CD23 shedding and IgE synthesis.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

Status: VALIDATED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) has a different 5' end with an alternate start codon, compared to variant 1. The resulting protein (isoform B) has a shorter and distinct N-terminus when it is compared to isoform A. Although variants 2 and 3 encode a protein of the same length (330 aa), the sequence of the two proteins (isoform B and isoform C) are different.
