CD97, an adhesion receptor on inflammatory cells, stimulates angiogenesis through binding integrin counterreceptors on endothelial cells.

Abstract excerpt

CD97, a membrane protein expressed at high levels on inflammatory cells and some carcinomas, is a member of the adhesion G protein-coupled receptor family, whose members have bipartite structures consisting of an extracellular peptide containing adhesion motifs noncovalently coupled to a class B 7-transmembrane domain.
