The epidermal growth factor (EGF)-TM7 proteins [EMR1, (EGF-like molecule containing mucin-like hormone receptor 1) F4/80, and CD97] constitute a recently defined class B GPCR subfamily and are predominantly expressed on leukocytes. These molecules possess N-terminal EGF-like domains coupled to a seven-span transmembrane (7TM) moiety via a mucin-like spacer domain. Genomic mapping analysis has suggested a possible EGF-TM7 gene family on the human chromosome 19p13 region. In this study, a new member of the EGF-TM7 family, EMR2, which shares strikingly similar molecular characteristics with CD97, is described. In addition to mapping closely to CD97 on human chromosome 19p13.1, EMR2 contains a total of five tandem EGF-like domains and expresses similar protein isoforms consisting of various numbers of EGF-like domains as a result of alternative RNA splicing. Furthermore, EMR2 and CD97 exhibit highly homologous EGF-like domains and share identical gene organization, indicating that both genes are the products of a recent gene duplication event. The homologous EGF-like domains enable the identification of both EMR2 and CD97 by monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) raised against the first EGF-like domain of CD97, whereas mAbs directed against the extracellular spacer domain of CD97 are able to differentiate these two proteins. Both EMR2 and CD97 are highly expressed in immune tissues; however, unlike CD97, which is ubiquitously expressed in most cell types, EMR2 expression is restricted to monocytes/Mφ and granulocytes. EMR2 fails to interact with CD55, the cellular ligand for CD97, suggesting the possibility of a different cellular ligand(s). EMR2 may therefore have a unique function in cells of monocyte/Mφ and granulocyte lineages.
