Target Name

CD177

Target Full Name

CD177 antigen

Target Function

In association with beta-2 integrin heterodimer ITGAM/CD11b and ITGB2/CD18, mediates activation of TNF-alpha primed neutrophils including degranulation and superoxide production. In addition, by preventing beta-2 integrin internalization and attenuating chemokine signaling favors adhesion over migration. Heterophilic interaction with PECAM1 on endothelial cells plays a role in neutrophil transendothelial migration in vitro. However, appears to be dispensable for neutrophil recruitment caused by bacterial infection in vivo. Acts as a receptor for the mature form of protease PRTN3 allowing its display at the cell surface of neutrophils. By displaying PRTN3 at the neutrophil cell surface, may play a role in enhancing endothelial cell junctional integrity and thus vascular integrity during neutrophil diapedesis.

Target Subcellular Location

Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor. Membrane raft; Lipid-anchor, GPI-like-anchor. Secreted. Cytoplasmic granule membrane. Cell projection, lamellipodium.

Target Tissue Specificity

Highly expressed in normal bone marrow and weakly expressed in fetal liver. During neutrophil differentiation, expression begins at the metamyelocyte stage and continues throughout the subsequent stages (at protein level). Expressed by a subset of mature

Target Background

This gene encodes a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked cell surface glycoprotein that plays a role in neutrophil activation. The protein can bind platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 and function in neutrophil transmigration. Mutations in this gene are associated with myeloproliferative diseases. Over-expression of this gene has been found in patients with polycythemia rubra vera. Autoantibodies against the protein may result in pulmonary transfusion reactions, and it may be involved in Wegener's granulomatosis. A related pseudogene, which is adjacent to this gene on chromosome 19, has been identified.
