We report cloning and characterization of FCRL2, a novel human gene that belongs to the FcR family. The gene is closely linked and structurally similar to the recently identified FCRL/FREB/FcRX gene. The encoded protein is composed of three Ig-like domains and a C-terminal mucin-like domain containing a conserved alpha-helical motif with dileucine signals. Intraexonic splicing may generate two alternative transcripts, coding for isoforms with the third and fourth domains replaced by entirely different amino acid sequences. Like FCRL, the full-length isoform of FCRL2 is expressed intracellularly in transfected 293T cells. Expression analysis revealed FCRL2 mRNA only in placenta. The gene transcripts were not detected in lymphoid tissues or in the main leukocyte subsets isolated from peripheral blood. However, we found that FCRL2 is differentially expressed by transformed B cell lines. Of interest is also the finding that the gene expression may be up-regulated in the progression of melanocytic tumors. (C) 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
