CD97, also known as Leukocyte antigen CD97and CD97 antigen, is a protein that belongs to the adhesion-GPCR receptor family. CD97 is normally found on tissue of hematapoetic origin and in smooth muscle. N-terminal domains of CD97 consist of alternatively spliced epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domains which mediate binding to its cellular ligand, decay accelerating factor (DAF/CD55), a regulatory protein of the complement cascade. CD97 has been found to be upregulated in Cancers, including prostate, breast, and thyroid. In prostate cancer, it has been shown that CD97 is hetoerodimerizing with another GPCR, LPAR. The interaction is believed to further enhance the RHO signaling between both receptors.
