Expressed in macrophages and bone marrow dendritic cells (BM-DC). Weakly expressed in the spleen and lymph node. Highly expressed in multi-nuclear osteoclasts compared to mono-nuclear macrophages. Expressed in foreign body giant cells (FBGCs). Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are expressed in osteoclasts.
PMID: 15452179 by Kukita T., et al. RANKL-induced DC-STAMP is essential for osteoclastogenesis.
PMID: 15601667 by Eleveld-Trancikova D., et al. The dendritic cell-derived protein DC-STAMP is highly conserved and localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum.
