Template:PBB EGF-like module-containing mucin-like hormone receptor-like 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EMR1 gene.[1][2][3] The mouse homologue is known as F4/80.[4]

Function

This gene encodes a protein that is a member of the adhesion-GPCR family [5] . Family members are characterized by an extended extracellular region with a variable number of protein domains coupled to a TM7 domain via a mucin-like spacer region. In the case of EMR1 these domains are Epidermal Growth Factor ([[EGF-like] domains.

Emr1 is a transmembrane protein present on the cell-surface of human macrophages, which are derived from the myeloid lineage. It has an approximate mass of 125 kDa, and is associated with mature macrophages.
