Gene information for PVR (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5817
Official gene symbolPVR
Full namepoliovirus receptor
Aliases,CD155,FLJ25946,HVED,NECL5,Necl-5,PVS,TAGE4,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily. The external domain mediates cell attachment to the extracellular matrix molecule vitronectin, while its intracellular domain interacts with the dynein light chain Tctex-1/DYNLT1. The gene is specific to the primate lineage, and serves as a cellular receptor for poliovirus in the first step of poliovirus replication. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
