TREM2 (triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2) is a transmembrane receptor belonging to the immunoglobulin (Ig) family. It is composed of an extracellular region containing the Ig-like domain and a cytoplasmic tail. It has a transmembrane region of 33 amino acids followed by a cytoplasmic tail. It is expressed on myeloid cells such as, macrophages found in tissue and dendritic cells, on microglial cells in the brain.
Immunogen
Peptide with sequence CQVEHSTSRNQET, from the internal region of the protein sequence according to NP_112544.1.
Application
Anti-Trem2 antibody produced in goat is suitable for indirect ELISA and western blot assays.
Biochem/physiol Actions
TREM2 (triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2) is involved in the bacterial phagocytosis and regulation of inflammatory response. Its presence in microglia helps to remove the neural debris i.e. amyloid β peptide (Aβ) on microglia. TREM2 suppresses the ability of microglia to phagocytize Aβ, and disturbs the pro-inflammatory activity of these cells. Parkinson′s disease (PD) is portrayed by the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons, in the substantia nigra standards compacta district of the cerebrum. TREM2 binds specifically to the ligands expressed by these dopaminergic neurons. Likewise, microgliosis is additionally involved in the movement of PD. Hence, several type of TREM2 gene might be linked to susceptibility to PD. p.R47H polymorphism in this gene is identified with increased risk of sporadic amyotrophic sidelong sclerosis. Mutation in TREM2 is also associated with polycystic lipomembranous osteodysplaysia with sclerosing leukoencephalop.

Chronic pain after bone fracture and orthopedic surgery is often refractory to most analgesics currently in use, thus emphasizing the urgent need for improved therapeutic medications. Chemokine-dependent neuroinflammation is critical for excitatory synaptic plasticity and central nociception sensitization. Recent studies
The accumulation of aggregated amyloid-β (Aβ) in the brain is the first critical step in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), which also includes synaptic impairment, neuroinflammation, neuronal loss, and eventual cognitive defects. Emerging evidence suggests that impairment of Aβ
