Tumor endothelial marker 5 is an Orphan-U GPCR with an unknown ligand. Tumor Endothelial Marker 5, like GPR125, has a leucine rich repeat (LRR), an immunoglobulin (Ig) domain, and a hormone-binding domain (HBD). The Ig domain shows similarities to motilin and titin, while the LRR domain shows similarities to LRIG1 and SLIT1-2. TEM5 expression has been documented in endothelial cells of tumors, including colon, brain, liver. Expression is restricted largely to endothelial cells (St Croix et al. 2000).
