PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • a hydrophobic signal peptide
  • two Ig superfamily domains containing seven putative N-glycosylation sites
  • a transmembrane domain
  • cytoplasmic domain of CS1 containing four immunoreceptor tyrosine-based switch motif (ITSM)
  • conjugated GlycoP
    HOMOLOGY
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • CD2 subset of immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF), CD2 family expressed on natural killer (NK), T and stimulated B cells
  • SLAM (Signaling Lymphocyte Activation Molecule) family receptors
  • CATEGORY receptor membrane
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane
    text
  • receptor present on immune cells, including natural killer (NK) cells
  • basic FUNCTION
  • receptor activity, mediating lysis by activating cytotoxic cells
  • triggers ERK phosphorylation and activation
  • functioning as a self-ligand and its homophilic interaction regulates NK cell cytolytic activity
  • SLAMF1, CD48, CD84, CD244, LY9, SLAMF6, SLAMF7 play an essential and non-redundant role in the control of humoral immune responses
  • is a self-ligand and has both activating and inhibitory functions in Natural Killer cells
  • plays an inhibitory role in human monocytes to control proinflammatory immune responses
  • natural killer T (NKT) cells and innate CD8(+) T cell development can be regulated in a SAP-dependent and -independent fashion by SLAMF receptors, in which SLAMF1, SLAMF6, and SLAMF8 affect development of NKT cells, and CD84, SLAMF7, and SLAMF8 affect the development of innate CD8(+) T cells
  • in NK cells, SLAMF7 signaling induces cytolytic function of NK cells against targets whereas in B cells SLAMF7 induces proliferation and autocrine cytokine production
