Target Name

ADGRE5

Target Full Name

Adhesion G protein-coupled receptor E5

Target Function

Receptor potentially involved in both adhesion and signaling processes early after leukocyte activation. Plays an essential role in leukocyte migration.

Target Subcellular Location

Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.; [Adhesion G protein-coupled receptor E5 subunit alpha]: Secreted, extracellular space.

Target Protein Families

G-protein coupled receptor 2 family, LN-TM7 subfamily

Target Tissue Specificity

Broadly expressed, found on most hematopoietic cells, including activated lymphocytes, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and granulocytes. Expressed also abundantly by smooth muscle cells. Expressed in thyroid, colorectal, gastric, esophageal and p

Target Synonyms

ADGRE5; CD97; Adhesion G protein-coupled receptor E5; Leukocyte antigen CD97; CD antigen CD97

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the EGF-TM7 subfamily of adhesion G protein-coupled receptors, which mediate cell-cell interactions. These proteins are cleaved by self-catalytic proteolysis into a large extracellular subunit and seven-span transmembrane subunit, which associate at the cell surface as a receptor complex. The encoded protein may play a role in cell adhesion as well as leukocyte recruitment, activation and migration, and contains multiple extracellular EGF-like repeats which mediate binding to chondroitin sulfate and the cell surface complement regulatory protein CD55. Expression of this gene may play a role in the progression of several types of cancer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms with 3 to 5 EGF-like repeats have been observed for this gene. This gene is found in a cluster with other EGF-TM7 genes on the short arm of chromosome 19.
