Target intelligence / Profile preview

Myeloid cell surface antigen (CD33)

Target
CD33
Molecular classification
Receptor, Immunoglobulin superfamily, Transmembrane protein, Sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin (Siglec)
01

Overview

CD33 is a transmembrane receptor primarily expressed on myeloid cells, including monocytes, myeloid progenitors, and granulocyte/macrophage precursors. It functions as an inhibitory receptor, regulating immune and myeloid cell activity through its ITIM domains, which recruit phosphatases upon ligand binding. It is a key diagnostic marker and therapeutic target for Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).
