SLAMF6 (signaling lymphocytic activation molecule family member5), also known as NTB-A and CD352, is a single-pass type I transmembrane 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. SLAMF6 contains 1 Ig-like V-type and 1 Ig-like C2-type domains in the extracellular region and 2 ITSM (immunoreceptor tyrosine switch motifs) in the cytoplasmic region. SLAMF6 is expressed on the surface of NK, T, and B cells as well as eosinophils. It associates homophilically through weak interactions between the Ig­like V-type domains. SLAMF6 functions as an activating co-receptor on NK and T cells. Tyrosine phosphorylation in the membrane proximal ITSM enables specific association with the adaptor molecules, leading to SLAMF6 mediated cytotoxicity of NK cells and the production of IFN­γ by NK cells. SLAMF6 may also mediate inhibitory signals in NK cells from X-linked lymphoproliferative patients.SLAMF6 deficient mice show weakened Th2 responses and elevated levels of neutrophil­derived inflammatory mediators. On B cells, SLAMF6 modulates Ig class switching and the balance between tolerance and autoimmunity.

Primers: Gene insert coding sequence can be confirmed by following primers:

(a) forward (or 5'-end) primer: 5’-CAAATGGGCGGTAGGCGTG-3’;

(b) reverse (or 3'-end) primer: 5’-CGGGAAGCAATAGCATGATA-3’

 

 

Note: The sequence may vary due to the naturally occurring variants or mutations, such as single nucleotide polymorphism, or the artifact during PCR amplification.  High fidelity PCR systems should always be used.
