Human SLAMF2 Protein, ECD (Extracellular Domain), Fc-fusion, Recombinant

Description

SLAMF2 (signaling lymphocytic activation molecule family member2), also known as BLAST­1 and CD48, is a GPI­anchored glycoprotein that belongs to the SLAM subfamily of the CD2 protein family of the Ig (immunoglobulin) superfamily. Most SLAM family members function as adhesion molecules and co-receptors for lymphocyte activation and mediate tyrosine phosphorylation signals. SLAMF2 contains 1 Ig-like V-type and 1 Ig-like C2-type domains in the extracellular region. SLAMF2 is expressed on most lineage­committed hematopoietic cells but not on hematopoietic stem cells or progenitors. CD48 plays important roles in a variety biological processes including adhesion, pathogen recognition, cellular activation, and cytokine regulation, and emerges as a critical effector molecule in immune responses. CD2, SLAMF4 (also known as 2B4 and CD244), and heparan sulfate function as CD48 ligands. In mice, CD48­CD2 interactions promote T cell activation and class switching to IgG2a in B cells.  In human, high affinity CD48­CD244 interactions can either promote or inhibit NK cell and cytotoxic T cell (CTL) activation. A soluble form of CD48 is detected in the serum of lymphoid leukemia and arthritis patients.
