Gene information for TREM2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID54209
Official gene symbolTREM2
Full nametriggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2
Aliases,TREM-2,Trem2a,Trem2b,Trem2c,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a membrane protein that forms a receptor signaling complex with TYROBP. The encoded protein may be involved in chronic inflammation by triggering the production of constitutive inflammatory cytokines. Defects in this gene are a cause of polycystic lipomembranous osteodysplasia with sclerosing leukoencephalopathy (PLOSL). [provided by RefSeq]
