UniProt data
UniProt name: SIGL8_HUMAN (Q9NYZ4)
Gene name: SIGLEC8; Synonyms=SAF2
Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Function: Putative adhesion molecule that mediates sialic-acid dependent binding to cells. Preferentially binds to alpha-2,3- linked sialic acid. Also binds to alpha-2,6-linked sialic acid. The sialic acid recognition site may be masked by cis interactions with sialic acids on the same cell surface.
Subcellular location: Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
Transmembrane domains:
- 364-384, 21 AA, Helical. {ECO:0000255}.
Sequence: 499 AA
