Synonyms | SAF2 |
Function | Putative adhesion molecule that mediates sialic-acid dependent binding to red blood cells (PubMed:10856141, PubMed:10625619). Preferentially binds to alpha-2,3-linked sialic acid. Also binds to alpha-2,6-linked sialic acid. The sialic acid recognition site may be masked by cis interactions with sialic acids on the same cell surface (PubMed:10625619). Recognizes simultaneously epitopes having a terminal N-acetylneuraminic acid (sialic acid) and an underlying 6-O-sulfated galactose. Preferentially binds to Gal-6- sulfated sialyl-Lewis X glycan epitopes (PubMed:27357658). |
Cellular Location | Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. |
Tissue Location | Expressed specifically on red blood cells namely basophil, mast cells and eosinophils. |

Background
Sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin (Ig)-like lectins, orSIGLECs (e.g., CD33 (MIM 159590)), are a family of type 1transmembrane proteins each having a unique expression pattern,mostly in hemopoietic cells. SIGLEC8 is a member of the CD33-likesubgroup of SIGLECs, which are localized to 19q13.3-q13.4 and have2 conserved cytoplasmic tyrosine-based motifs: an immunoreceptortyrosine-based inhibitory motif, or ITIM (see MIM 604964), and amotif homologous to one identified in signaling lymphocyteactivation molecule (SLAM; MIM 603492) that mediates an associationwith SLAM-associated protein (SAP; MIM 300490) (summarized byFoussias et al., 2000 [PubMed 11095983]).
