    basic FUNCTION
  • playing a role in acute inflammation
  • mediating activation of neutrophils and monocytes
  • engagement of TREM1 triggers secretion of IL8, respiratory burst and phagocytosis
  • induction of monocyte chemotactic protein-1, and TNF-alpha which induce neutrophil degranulation
  • play a role in the innate immune response against intra-amniotic infection
  • its expression in response to TLR ligands occurs secondary to downstream signaling events and the presence of TLR is necessary for the expression of TREM1 in response to their specific ligands
  • involved in the innate inflammatory response to microbial infections
  • hypoxia-inducible gene in mature dendritic cells
  • activating receptor expressed on neutrophils and monocytes that amplifies inflammation induced by stimulation of pattern-recognition receptors
  • activating receptor on inflammatory cells upregulated by microbial products

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • TREM1 and TLR interact creating synergistic activation in polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN)
  • associated with TYROBP in hypoxic mature dendritic cells, and its engagement elicited TYROBP-linked signaling, resulting in MAPK3, AKT1, and NFKBIA phosphorylation
  • interacts with the toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) receptor complex, or is a component of this complex, and some of the biological effects of TREM1 may be due to its interaction with the TLR4/LPS-receptor complex
  • interacting with BTK, a positive regulator in the ITAM-mediated TREM1/TYROBP pathway, suggesting its implication in inflammatory processes
