Anti-SLAM/CD150/SLAMF1 Antibody

Signaling lymphocytic activation molecule 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLAMF1 gene. SLAMF1 Antibody: The signaling lymphocyte-activation molecule family member 1 (SLAMF1) is a novel receptor on T cells that potentiates T cell expansion in a CD28-independent manner. SLAMF1 is predominantly expressed by hematopoietic tissues. Reports suggest that the extracellular domain of SLAMF1 is the receptor for the measles virus and acts as a co-activator on both T and B cells. It is thought to interact with SH2D1A and with PTPN11 via its cytoplasmic domain. Mutations of the SLAM associated gene may be associated with X-linked lympho-proliferative disease (XLP) .

Highly expressed in lung. Also detected in pancreas, kidney, small intestine, ovary, testis, prostate and mammary gland. In lung, it is found in alveolar type II cells but not in bronchiolar epithelium.

ICAM proteins are ligands for the leukocyte adhesion protein LFA-1 (integrin alpha-L/beta-2) . ICAM2 may play a role in lymphocyte recirculation by blocking LFA-1-dependent cell adhesion. It mediates adhesive interactions important for antigen- specific immune response, NK-cell mediated clearance, lymphocyte recirculation, and other cellular interactions important for immune response and surveillance.
