CD177 Antibodies

Target Information

In association with beta-2 integrin heterodimer ITGAM/CD11b and ITGB2/CD18, mediates activation of TNF-alpha primed neutrophils including degranulation and superoxide production. In addition, by preventing beta-2 integrin internalization and attenuating chemokine signaling favors adhesion over migration. Heterophilic interaction with PECAM1 on endothelial cells plays a role in neutrophil transendothelial migration in vitro. However, appears to be dispensable for neutrophil recruitment caused by bacterial infection in vivo. Acts as a receptor for the mature form of protease PRTN3 allowing its display at the cell surface of neutrophils. By displaying PRTN3 at the neutrophil cell surface, may play a role in enhancing endothelial cell junctional integrity and thus vascular integrity during neutrophil diapedesis. Highly expressed in normal bone marrow and weakly expressed in fetal liver (PubMed:10753836). During neutrophil differentiation, expression begins at the metamyelocyte stage and continues throughout the subsequent stages (at protein level) (PubMed:17244676, PubMed:18462208, PubMed:24926686). Expressed by a subset of mature neutrophils (at protein level) (PubMed:10753836, PubMed:28240246, PubMed:12377969, PubMed:18462208, PubMed:12675722, PubMed:17244676, PubMed:17580308, PubMed:21193407, PubMed:24926686, PubMed:28807980, PubMed:27227454). The percentage of neutrophils expressing CD177 varies across the population (PubMed:17244676, PubMed:27227454). Expressed in granulocytes of patients with polycythemia vera (PV) and with essential thrombocythemia (ET) (PubMed:10753836, PubMed:12377969). 3 alternatively spliced human isoforms have been reported.
