SLAM family member 8 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLAMF8 gene. [5] [6]

Contents

Function

This gene encodes a member of the CD2 family of cell surface proteins involved in lymphocyte activation. These proteins are characterized by Ig domains. This protein is expressed in lymphoid tissues, and studies of a similar protein in mouse suggest that it may function during B cell lineage commitment. The gene is found in a region of chromosome 1 containing many CD2 genes. [6]

Toll-like receptor 6

Toll-like receptor 6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TLR6 gene. TLR6 is a transmembrane protein, member of toll-like receptor family, which belongs to the pattern recognition receptor (PRR) family. TLR6 acts in a heterodimer form with toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2). Its ligands include multiple diacyl lipopeptides derived from gram-positive bacteria and mycoplasma and several fungal cell wall saccharides. After dimerizing with TLR2, the NF-κB intracellular signalling pathway is activated, leading to an pro-inflammatory cytokine production and activation of innate immune response. TLR6 has also been designated as CD286.

C-C chemokine receptor type 7

C-C chemokine receptor type 7 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CCR7 gene. Two ligands have been identified for this receptor: the chemokines ligand 19 (CCL19/ELC) and ligand 21 (CCL21).

SH2D1A Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens

SH2 domain–containing protein 1A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SH2D1A gene. It is often called SLAM-associated protein, where "SLAM" refers to signaling lymphocytic activation molecules. It is a SH2 domain–containing molecule that plays a role in SLAM signaling. A putative function is as an adaptor for Fyn and competitor of phosphatases, leading to modulation of SLAM family function. SAP has been implicated in autoimmunity, and a mutation of it is associated with X-linked lymphoproliferative disease. At least 32 disease-causing mutations in this gene have been discovered.

ULBP1

UL16 binding protein 1 (ULBP1) is a cell surface glycoprotein encoded by ULBP1 gene located on the chromosome 6. ULBP1 is related to MHC class I molecules, but its gene maps outside the MHC locus. The domain structure of ULBP1 differs significantly from those of conventional MHC class I molecules. It does not contain the α3 domain and the transmembrane segment. ULBP1 is thus composed of only the α1α2 domain which is linked to the cell membrane by the GPI anchor. It functions as a stress-induced ligand for NKG2D receptor. ULBP1 is, for example, upregulated during HCMV infection. Binding of HCMV-encoded UL16 glycoprotein to ULBP1 interferes with cell surface localization of ULBP1; this represents another mechanism by which HCMV-infected cells might escape the immune system.

SIRPB1

Signal-regulatory protein beta-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SIRPB1 gene. SIRPB1 has also recently been designated CD172B.

CD300LF

CMRF35-like molecule 1, also known as CD300lf, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CD300LF gene. CD300lf belongs to the protein family of CD300. CD300lf is a membrane glycoprotein that contains an immonoglobulin domain and is expressed by myeloid and mast cells of humans and other mammals. The protein functions in immunoregulation but might also have a role in norovirus infections.
