GPR183 wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human GPR183 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 13q32.3 and is approximately 13 kb in length. This allele, which encodes G-protein coupled receptor 183 protein, plays a role in the modulation of humoral immunity. Aberrant expression of this gene is induced by Epstein-Barr virus and may be associated with virally-induced neoplasms.
