We report the characteristics of CD300LG, a member of the CD300 antigen like family. Its genomic structure is similar in both mouse and human, and at least four isoforms exist in both species. The amino acid sequence of the immunoglobulin (Ig) V like domain of CD300LG showed approximately 35% identity to those of the polymeric Ig receptor (pIgR) and Fc alpha/mu R. Interestingly, mouse CD300LG proteins were uniquely expressed on capillary endothelium. Immunoelectron microscopy revealed that mouse CD300LG is localized on both apical and basolateral plasma membranes, as well as on intracellular vesicular structures, in the capillary endothelium. Transcytosis assays using polarized MDCK epithelial cells showed that CD300LG could be transcytosed bidirectionally. Furthermore, CD30OLG exogenously expressed on HeLa cells could take up IgA2 and IgM, but not IgG. These results suggest that CD30OLG might play an important role in molecular traffic across the capillary endothelium. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
