    motifs/domains
  • three extracellular domains, an hydrophobic transmembrane segment (TM)
  • a phosphorylation site at Ser-76 (S76) within its cytoplasmic tail
  • a C terminal intracellular domain containing a number pf sites phosphorylated by protein kinase C
  • ectodomain of SPN is considered as a molecular barrier for cell adhesion, while the cytoplasmic domain has a binding site for Ezrin/Radixin/Moesin (ERM)

    basic FUNCTION
  • important for immune function and may be part of a physiologic ligand-receptor complex involved in T-cell activation
  • playing a role in the physicochemical properties
  • of the T-cell surface and in lectin binding
  • functions potentially as a signaling molecule, sensing extracellular cues and transducing intracellular signals that modulate T-cell function
  • its overexpression activates TP53 and suppresses colony formation due to induction of apoptosis
  • potential contributor to tumor development and the functional ARF-TP53 pathway is required for the elimination of cells with aberrant CD43 expression
  • highly glycosylated transmembrane protein that regulates T cell activation
  • generally serves as an antiadhesive molecule to attenuate neutrophil-endothelial interactions, but when E-selectin is expressed on endothelial cells, it also plays a proadhesive role as an E-selectin ligand
  • involved in the regulation of lymphocyte adhesion and activation
  • inhibitor for cell adhesion
  • regulates multiple T-cell functions, including T-cell activation, proliferation, apoptosis, and migration
  • SPN movement and regulation of T-cell migration can occur through an ERM-independent, phosphorylation-dependent mechanism
  • transmembrane sialoglycoprotein involved in cell adhesion, differentiation, and apoptosis
  • is the UN1 antigen, peculiarly expressed in fetal tissues and several cancer tissues, including leukemic T cells, breast, and colon carcinomas
