Tissue Distribution Click here for help
Highest levels in the spleen, peripheral blood leukocytes and lung, followed by intermediate levels in the placenta and bone marrow, with low detected levels in the heart, kidney, liver, pancreas, skeletal muscle, lymph node, thymus, tonsil and fetal liver.
With 40 cycles of amplification two monocyte/macrophage cell lines, 2 B cell lines and one T cell line were positive while 2 firbroblast lines were negative.

General Comments
ADGRE3 (adhesion G protein-coupled receptor E3, formerly known as EMR3: EGF-like module containing, mucin-like, hormone receptor-like 3) is an orphan receptor that belongs to Family II Adhesion-GPCRs together with ADGRE5 and ADGRE1, ADGRE2 and ADGRE4 [1,3]. The genes of Family II Adhesion-GPCRs are syntenically clustered on human chromosome 19 suggesting the evolution from an ancestral gene through gene duplication and exon shuffling [4]. No mouse or rat ADGRE3 orthologues exist.

Full coding sequence human cDNA is publicly available, IMAGE:7211798 [5] in mammalian expression vector pCDNA3.1. Clone matches RefSeq and human reference genomic sequence.
