Specificity
Recognizes human epidermal growth factor (EGF) module-containing mucin-like hormone receptor 3 (EMR3), which is a 56kD member of the EGF-7 transmembrane (TM7) family of adhesion receptors. EMR3 is expressed at the cell surface as a heterodimer. The molecule is predominantly expressed on granulocytes, and at lower levels on mature myeloid cells, monocytes and dendritic cells. EMR3 is absent on lymphocytes, hematopoietic stem cells and myeloid progenitors. Studies suggest that the EMR3 molecule is up-regulated during late stages of neutrophil differentiation and is a marker for terminally differentiated cells. The exact functions of EMR3 and its ligands have not yet been determined.
