CD300e: Emerging role and mechanism as an immune-activating receptor.

As a transmembrane protein, CD300e is primarily expressed in myeloid cells. It belongs to the CD300 glycoprotein family, functioning as an immune-activating receptor. Dysfunction of CD300e has been suggested in many diseases, such as infections, immune disorders, obesity, and diabetes, signifying its potential as a key biomarker for disease diagnosis and treatment. This review is aimed to explore the roles and potential mechanisms of CD300e in regulating oxidative stress, immune cell activation, tissue damage and repair, and lipid metabolism, shedding light on its role as a diagnostic marker or a therapeutic target, particularly for infections and autoimmune disorders.
