    basic FUNCTION
  • playing a role in B lineage commitment and/or modulation of signal through the B cell receptor
  • functions as a coreceptor for lymphocyte activation and/or adhesion via extravellular and cytoplasmic domains
  • in response to inflammation-associated stimuli, the inducible receptor Slamf8 negatively regulates inflammatory 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
  • is a negative regulator of ROS in response to Gram+ and Gram- bacteria
  • SLAMF1 and SLAMF8 govern ROS-dependent innate immune responses of myeloid cells, thus modulating migration of these cells during inflammation in an opposing manner
