Gene: TREM1

Alternate names for this Gene: CD354|TREM-1

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a receptor belonging to the Ig superfamily that is expressed on myeloid cells. This protein amplifies neutrophil and monocyte-mediated inflammatory responses triggered by bacterial and fungal infections by stimulating release of pro-inflammatory chemokines and cytokines, as well as increased surface expression of cell activation markers. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 6

Location in Chromosome : 6p21.1

Description of this Gene: triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
