Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.

| Other Names | Natural killer cell receptor 2B4, 2B4, NK cell activation-inducing ligand, NAIL NK cell type I receptor protein 2B4, NKR2B4, h2B4, SLAM family member 4, SLAMF4, Signaling lymphocytic activation molecule 4, CD244 |
| Target/Specificity | CD244 (Natural killer (NK) cell receptor 2B4/SLAMF4) is an Ig superfamily signaling lymphocyte activation molecule (SLAM) receptor. Like all SLAM family receptors, it has an extracellular segment with two immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domains, and a cytoplasmic domain containing four immunoreceptor tyrosine-based switch motifs. CD244 does not act as a selfligand similar to other SLAM family receptors. It binds CD48, a transmembrane receptor ubiquitously expressed on hematopoietic cells. CD244 activity is controlled by the presence or absence of small cytoplasmic adapter proteins, SH2D1A/SAP and/or SH2D1B/EAT-2. Downstream signaling involves predominantly VAV1, and, to a lesser degree, INPP5D/SHIP1 and CBL. Activation of CD244 stimulates NK cell cytotoxicity, production of IFN-γ and granule exocytosis. CD244 is involved in the regulation of CD8+ T-cell proliferation, and inhibits inflammatory responses in dendritic cells (DCs). In cancers, CD244 shows increased expression in intratumoral DCs and myeloid suppressor cells, and anti-CD244 therapies may increase infiltrating T-cells and impair tumor growth. |
| Format | Protein G Purified |
| Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Precautions | Anti-CD244/2B4/SLAMF4 (Extracellular region) M053 Antibody is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
| Shipping | Blue Ice |
