Sialic acid binding Ig-like lectin 3 (SIGLEC 3)

Target
SIGLEC 3
Molecular classification
Siglec family, CD33-related Siglecs, Immunoglobulin superfamily, Type I transmembrane protein, Lectins
01

Overview

Sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectin 3 (SIGLEC3), also known as CD33, is a transmembrane receptor primarily expressed on myeloid cells. It functions as an inhibitory receptor by binding to sialic acids and recruiting phosphatases to its ITIMs, leading to reduced immune cell activation. It is a key marker for Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

Other names
CD33gp67p67
02

Mechanism of action

Recruitment of SH2-domain-containing phosphatases (SHP-1, SHP-2) to ITIMs, leading to dephosphorylation of signaling molecules and inhibition of cellular activation.
