NCIt definition : Human CD68 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 17p13 and is approximately
3 kb in length. This allele, which encodes macrosialin protein, may play a role in
the regulation of macrophage homing and rolling and the mediation of pathogen binding
and internalization.;
NCIt note : The CD68 gene product may be a biomarker for macrophages and useful to characterize
the severity of Hodgkin lymphoma.;
