triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1; triggering receptor expressed on monocytes 1; TREM-1 (TREM1)

Function: 1) stimulates neutrophil & monocyte-mediated inflammatory responses 2) triggers release of pro-inflammatory chemokines & cytokines 3) increases surface expression of inflammatory cell activation markers 4) amplifies inflammatory responses triggered by bacterial & fungal infections 5) mediator of septic shock 6) interacts with TYROBP Structure: - glycosylated - contains 1 Ig-like V-type domain (immunoglobulin-like) Compartment: - isoform 1: cell membrane - isoform 2: secreted Alternative splicing: named isoforms=2 Expression: - expressed in adult liver, lung, spleen, lymph node, placenta, spinal cord, heart tissues - expressed in peripheral blood leukocytes > bone marrow - expressed in normal cells > malignant cells - expressed with differentiation of monocytes Pathology: - up-regulated by bacteria, fungi, lipopolysaccharides - strongly expressed in acute inflammatory lesions caused by bacteria, fungi
