Human CD97/ADGRE5 ELISA Kit PicoKine®

Cluster of differentiation 97 is a protein also known as BL-Ac [F2] encoded by the ADGRE5 gene. The CD97 gene is mapped to 19p13.2-p13.12 by fluorescence in situ hybridization. In the immune system, CD97 is known as a critical mediator of host defense. Upon lymphoid, myeloid cells and neutrophil activation, CD97 is upregulated to promote adhesion and migration to sites of inflammation. Moreover, it has been shown that CD97 regulates granulocyte homeostasis. CD97 is expressed at the sarcoplasmic reticulum and the peripheral sarcolemma in skeletal muscle. However, lack of CD97 only affects the structure of the sarcoplasmic reticulum, but not the function of skeletal muscle.

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 pancreatic carcinomas too. Expression are increased under inflammatory conditions in the CNS of multiple sclerosis and in synovial tissue of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Increased expression of CD97 in the synovium is accompanied by detectable levels of soluble CD97 in the synovial fluid.
