TREML2 is located in a gene cluster on chromosome 6 with the single Ig variable (IgV) domain activating receptors TREM1 (MIM 605085) and TREM2 (MIM 605086), but it has distinct structural and functional properties (Allcock et al., 2003 [PubMed 12645956]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008],

Function:
Function:Cell surface receptor that may play a role in the innate and adaptive immune response. Acts as a counterreceptor for CD276 and interaction with CD276 on T-cells enhances T-cell activation.,induction:Induced in CD4 T-cells by concanavalin A.,similarity:Contains 1 Ig-like V-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain.,subunit:Interacts with CD276 and this interaction enhances T-cell activation.,tissue specificity:Detected in cultured B cells, T cell leukemia and monocyte leukemia. Expressed constitutively on CD8 T-cells and induced on CD4 T-cells after activation.,
