Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) is a DAP12-associated receptor
expressed in microglia, macrophages, and other myeloid-derived cells. Previous studies
have suggested that TREM2/DAP12 signaling pathway reduces inflammatory responses
and promotes phagocytosis of apoptotic neurons. Recently, TREM2 has been identified as a
risk gene for Alzheimer disease (AD). Here, we show that DAP12 stabilizes the C-terminal
fragment of TREM2 (TREM2-CTF), a substrate for γ-secretase. Co-expression of DAP12 with …
