Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

This receptor binds polymeric IgA and IgM at the basolateral surface of epithelial cells. The complex is then transported across the cell to be secreted at the apical surface. During this process a cleavage occurs that separates the extracellular (known as the secretory component) from the transmembrane segment (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Localization

Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.Secretory component: Secreted.
