SIGLEC10 Antibody (C-Term) Blocking Peptide

SIGLECs are members of the immunoglobulin superfamily that are expressed on the cell surface. Most SIGLECs have 1 or more cytoplasmic immune receptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs, or ITIMs. SIGLECs are typically expressed on cells of the innate immune system, with the exception of the B-cell expressed SIGLEC6 (MIM 604405).[supplied by OMIM, Jul 2002]

Siglec-10: a cell surface protein belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily and the SIGLEC (sialic acid binding Ig-like lectin) family. Most SIGLECs have 1 or more cytoplasmic immune receptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs, or ITIMs. Putative adhesion molecule that mediates sialic-acid dependent binding to cells. Preferentially binds to alpha2,3- or 2,6-linked sialic acid. The sialic acid recognition site may be masked by cis interactions with sialic acids on the same cell surface. SIGLECs are typically expressed on cells of the innate immune system, with the exception of the B-cell expressed SIGLEC6. In the immune response, may act as an inhibitory receptor upon ligand induced tyrosine phosphorylation by recruiting cytoplasmic phosphatase(s) via their SH2 domain(s) that block signal transduction through dephosphorylation of signaling molecules. Five alternatively spliced isoforms have been described.
