Gene information for EMR2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID30817
Official gene symbolEMR2
Full nameegf-like module containing, mucin-like, hormone receptor-like 2
Aliases,CD312,DKFZp781B135,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the class B seven-span transmembrane (TM7) receptor family expressed predominantly by cells of the immune system. Family members are characterized by an extended extracellular region with a variable number of N-terminal epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domains coupled to a TM7 domain via a mucin-like spacer domain. This gene is closely linked to the gene encoding egf-like molecule containing mucin-like hormone receptor 3 on chromosome 19. This protein does not interact with the ligand decay accelerating factor for complement, unlike the related CD97 antigen, and indicates that these very closely related proteins likely have nonredundant functions. This gene results in multiple transcripts encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq]
