80 Information

EGF-like module-containing mucin-like hormone receptor-like 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EMR1 gene.[1][2][3] The mouse homologue is known as F4/80.[4]

Contents

Function

This gene encodes a protein that has a domain resembling secretin receptor-like seven transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors (7TM receptors) at its C-terminus. The N-terminus of the encoded protein has six EGF-like modules, separated from the transmembrane segments by a serine/threonine-rich domain, a feature reminiscent of mucin-like, single-span, integral membrane glycoproteins with adhesive properties.[3]

Emr1 is a transmembrane protein present on the cell-surface of human macrophages, which are derived from the myeloid lineage. It has an approximate mass of 125 kDa, and is associated with mature macrophages.
