Activity summary

F4/80 also known as Emr1 (Epidermal growth factor module-containing mucin-like hormone receptor 1) is a well-characterized surface protein with a mass of approximately 160 kDa. This protein is recognized as a marker for murine macrophages. F4/80 is heavily expressed on cells of the monocyte and macrophage lineage particularly in tissue-resident macrophages found in organs like the liver spleen and lung. Its expression is vital for identifying macrophages in various types of immunological studies including F4/80 staining and macrophage marker analysis.

Biological function summary

F4/80 plays a role in modulating the immune response by interacting with other cell surface molecules. While not part of a larger protein complex F4/80 influences macrophage functions such as phagocytosis and cytokine production. Its expression contributes to the regulation of tissue homeostasis and inflammation. The protein is critical in maintaining the macrophage population required for reliable immune surveillance and response to pathogens.

Pathways

F4/80 is an integral part of the immunological and inflammatory signaling pathways. It interacts with TLRs (Toll-like receptors) and other cell surface molecules that sense microbial components therefore helping in the initiation of innate immune responses. F4/80 is connected to proteins like cytokine receptors which play roles in mediating and resolving inflammatory signals important for maintaining balanced immune activity.

Associated diseases and disorders

F4/80 is associated with conditions like chronic inflammation and autoimmune disorders. Its expression levels can often correlate with disease state impacting diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and liver fibrosis. In these conditions F4/80 interacts with proteins like TNF-alpha and IL-1beta which are involved in inflammatory processes. Understanding F4/80's role can help uncover therapeutic targets aimed at modulating macrophage functions to treat these disorders effectively.

    ab204266 staining F4/80 in Raw264.7 cells. The cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5 min), permeabilized with 0.1% Tween for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at +4°C with ab204266 at a 1/40 dilution (shown in green) and Alexa Fluor® 594 Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Microtubule Marker ab195889, Mouse monoclonal to alpha Tubulin (Alexa Fluor® 594), at a 1/250 dilution (shown in red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).

    Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).
