TREM-2 is a single Ig domain receptor expressed by cells of myeloid lineage. Two closely related transcripts were reported in mouse and designated TREM-2a and TREM-2b. TREM-2b is a pattern recognition receptor that binds anionic ligands. TREM-2 associates with the adapter protein DAP12 to deliver an activating signal that plays a role in both innate and adaptive immune responses.
