    PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
    STRUCTURE
    motifs/domains
  • two patterns of organization of the signal peptide, which is followed by one V-set domain
  • one transmembrane domain
  • C2-set domains
  • cytoplasmic tail with a putative ITIM and putative SLAM-like tyrosine based motif, or an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based switch motif
  • lacks a conserved arginine residue known to be essential for optimal sialic acid recognition by previously known Siglecs
  • HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to C.elegans F54D8.3
    intraspecies homolog to SIGLEC8
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin family
  • CATEGORY immunity/defense
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane
    basic FUNCTION
  • negative regulator of signaling in macrophage by functioning as an inhibitory receptor
  • has undergone an additional polymorphic pseudogenization in humans
  • important part of the cell-cell communication system both within an organism and in between organisms such as host and pathogens
