Rabbit Anti-EMR2/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
The epidermal growth factor (EGF) family constitutes a group of class B, G protein-coupled receptors, which includes CD97 and EMR2. EMR2 is a member of the EGF-TM7 receptor subfamily. EGF-TM7 receptors are a family of class B, seven-span transmembrane (TM7) receptors predominantly expressed by cells of the immune system. Within the TM7 superfamily, the molecular structure and ligand-binding properties of EGF-TM7 receptors are unique. Derived from the processing of a single polypeptide, they are expressed at the cell surface as heterodimers consisting of a large extracellular region associated with a TM7 moiety. Through a variable number of N-terminal EGF-like domains, EGF-TM7 receptors interact with cellular ligands such as CD55 and chondroitin sulfate. EMR2 is a heptahelical molecule predominantly expressed on cells of the immune system such as leukocytes. EMR2 is proteo-lytically cleaved into two separate subunits: a seven-transmembrane subunit, and an extracellular Alpha subunit.
Function:
Receptor probably involved in cell attachment.
Subcellular Location:
Cell membrane.
Tissue Specificity:
Expression is restricted to myeloid cells. Highest expression was found in peripheral blood leukocytes, followed by spleen and lymph nodes, with intermediate to low levels in thymus, bone marrow, fetal liver, placenta, and lung, and no expression in heart, brain, skeletal muscle, kidney, or pancreas. Expression is also detected in monocyte/macrophage and Jurkat cell lines but not in other cell lines tested.
Post-translational modifications:
modificationsAutoproteolytically cleaved into 2 subunits, an extracellular alpha subunit and a seven-transmembrane beta subunit.
Similarity:
Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 2 family. LN-TM7 subfamily.
Contains 5 EGF-like domains.
Contains 1 GPS domain.
