Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 260436
Gene name Follicular dendritic cell secreted protein
Gene symbol FDCSP
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
C4orf7FDC-SP
Chromosome 4
Chromosome location 4q13.3|4q13
Summary 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 p
