Western blot analysis of extracts from U937 (lane 2(20μg) and U937(lane 3(20μg) using TREM2 (HY-P80920) Rabbit mAb. Proteins were transferred to a PVDF membrane and blocked with 5% non-fat milk in TBST for 2 hour at room temperature. The primary antibody (1/1000) and Loading control antibody (Beta Actin, HY-P80438, 1/10000) was used in 5% non-fat milk in TBST at 4°C overnight. Goat Anti-Mouse/Rabbit IgG-HRP Secondary Antibody (1/10000) was used for 1 hour at room temperature.

Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded Mouse spleen tissue using TREM2 Antibody. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0) for 8 minutes. The tissues were blocked in QuickBlock for 20 minutes at room temperature, washed with ddH2O and PBS, and then probed with the primary antibody (HY-P80920, 1/100) in 4℃ overnight. The detection was performed using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

Immunocytochemistry analysis of RAW264.7 cells labeling TREM2 with TREM2 antibody (HY-P80920) at 1/50 dilution. Cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 minutes at room temperature, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 10 minutes at room temperature, then blocked with QuickBlock™ Blocking Buffer for Immunol Staining for 10 min at room temperature. Cells were then incubated with TREM2 antibody (HY-P80920) at 1/50 dilution in QuickBlock™ Blocking Buffer for Immunol Staining at 4 ℃. Alexa Fluor® 488-conjugated AffiniPure Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L(HY-P8002, Green) was used as the secondary antibody at 1/1,000 dilution. PBS instead of the primary antibody was used as the secondary antibody only control. The Nuclear counterstain was DAPI (Blue).

Background

Function
TREM2 (Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells 2) is an innate immune receptor predominantly expressed by microglia and functions as a critical regulator of microglial activation, phagocytosis, metabolic fitness, and tissue surveillance in the central nervous system[1][2]. Mechanistically, TREM2 coordinates microglial responses to lipid-associated and neurodegenerative cues and supports the transition of microglia toward disease-associated functional states that maintain tissue homeostasis during stress and injury[1][3]. The TREM2-APOE pathway has emerged as a key regulatory axis controlling disease-associated microglia, linking lipid metabolism, immune signaling, and neurodegenerative responses[1][4]. In neurodegenerative disease models, particularly Alzheimer’s disease, TREM2 regulates microglial responses to amyloid pathology, promotes plaque-associated microglial activation, and supports protective barrier formation around amyloid deposits[5][6]. Genetic studies further demonstrate that loss-of-function variants, including the R47H variant, impair ligand binding, phagocytosis, and downstream transcriptional responses while increasing susceptibility to Alzheimer’s disease[5]. Compared with other members of the TREM receptor family, TREM2 is distinguished by its central role in microglial biology and neurodegeneration-associated immune adaptation rather than primarily amplifying acute inflammatory responses[1]. TREM2 also regulates cellular metabolism, including lipid handling and bioenergetic capacity, which are required for sustained microglial function under pathological conditions[2][7]. For experimental applications, TREM2-targeting agonistic antibodies have been shown to enhance microglial metabolism, proliferation, and protective responses in preclinical neurodegeneration models, supporting their utility for mechanistic studies of microglial immunobiology[1][7].

Expressed on macrophages and dendritic cells but not on granulocytes or monocytes (PubMed:10799849, PubMed:28855301) .

Isoforms & Post-Translational Modification
Q9NZC2 has 3 isomers: Q9NZC2-1: 25447 Da (predicted); Q9NZC2-2: 24328 Da (predicted); Q9NZC2-3: 24669 Da (predicted).
Undergoes ectodomain shedding through proteolytic cleavage by ADAM10 and ADAM17 to produce a transmembrane segment, the TREM2 C-terminal fragment (TREM2-CTF), which is subsequently cleaved by gamma-secretase -
Subunit
Monomer (PubMed:27995897). After ectodomain shedding, the extracellular domain oligomerizes, which is enhanced and stabilized by binding of phosphatidylserine (PubMed:29794134).
