Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.3.0)
Predicted to enable several functions, including antigen binding activity; protein domain specific binding activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Involved in B cell mediated immunity; CD40 signaling pathway; and intracellular calcium ion homeostasis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including defense response to protozoan; phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction; and positive regulation of B cell activation. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Part of CD40 receptor complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; hemolymphoid system gland; limb; and reproductive system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Graves' disease; arthritis (multiple); autoimmune disease of musculoskeletal system (multiple); hyperimmunoglobulin syndrome (multiple); and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (multiple). Orthologous to human CD40 (CD40 molecule).
