Stimulation of Vibratory Urticaria-Associated Adhesion-GPCR, EMR2/ADGRE2, Triggers the NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation Signal in Human Monocytes

EMR2/ADGRE2 is an adhesion G protein-coupled receptor differentially expressed by human myeloid cells. It modulates diverse cellular functions of innate immune cells and a missense EMR2 variant is directly responsible for vibratory urticaria. Recently, EMR2 was found to activate NLRP3 inflammasome i...
