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.

Disease:May play a role in B-cell activation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).,Function:May be involved in the sorting of secreted proteins (By similarity). May be involved in pre-B-cell growth. Antiretroviral defense protein, that blocks release of retrovirus from the cell surface. Depleted unpon HIV-1 infection by viral VPU protein through 20S proteasome degradation.,induction:During B-cell activation (at protein level), or by interferon alpha as part of entiviral state cellular program.,subunit:Homodimer.,tissue specificity:Predominantly expressed in liver, lung, heart and placenta. Lower levels in pancreas, kidney, skeletal muscle and brain. Overexpressed in multiple myeloma cells. Highly expressed during B-cell development, from pro-B precursors to plasma cells. Highy expressed on T-cells, monocytes, NK cells and dendritic cells (at protein level).,

Golgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network. Cell membrane ; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Cell membrane ; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor . Membrane raft. Cytoplasm. Apical cell membrane . Shuttles between the cell membrane, where it is present predominantly in membrane/lipid rafts, and the trans-Golgi network. Forms a complex with MMP14 and localizes to the cytoplasm.; Golgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network . Late endosome . (Microbial infection) HIV-1 VPU and HIV-2 ENV can target it to the trans-Golgi network thus sequestering it away from virus assembly sites on the cell membrane. Targeted to late endosomes upon KSHV infection and subsequent ubiquitination. .

Predominantly expressed in liver, lung, heart and placenta. Lower levels in pancreas, kidney, skeletal muscle and brain. Overexpressed in multiple myeloma cells. Highly expressed during B-cell development, from pro-B precursors to plasma cells. Highly expressed on T-cells, monocytes, NK cells and dendritic cells (at protein level).
