SIGLEC8 is a single-pass type I transmembrane protein belonging to the sialic acid binding Ig-like lectin (SIGLEC) family in the immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF). SIGLECs are characterized by an N-terminal Ig-like V-type (IgV)domain that mediates sialic acid binding, followed by varying numbers (2 to 17) of Ig-like C2-type (IgC2) domains in the extracellular region, a transmembrane region, and a cytoplasmic tail with intracellular immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIM). They can be classified into two subgroups: Siglecs-1, -2, and -4 subgroup, and a Siglec-3/CD33-related subgroup (Siglecs-3, and -5 through -13), defined by sequence similarity and clustered gene localization. SIGLECs are widely expressed on hematopoietic cells, often in a cell-type-specific manner.  SIGLEC8 contains only 2 IgC2 domains and preferentially binds to alpha-2,3-linked and alpha-2,6-linked sialic acid. SIGLEC8 may act as an adhesion molecule that mediates sialic-acid dependent binding to cells.

Product Details

 

Gene Symbol: SIGLEC8; SAF2; SAF2; SIGLEC-8; SIGLEC8L

 

NCBI Gene ID: 27181

 

Uniprot Entry: Q9NYZ4

 

Construct Details: Full length human SIGLEC8 gene is subcloned into the Lentiviral expression vector pLTC with an upstream CMV promoter and with or without an antibiotics selection marker, which can be used for both transient and stable expression in mammalian cells.  It can be co-transfected with the LentiPAK DNA mix (SKU# LP-001) into HEK293 cells to produce high titer lentiviral particles.

 

Vector Type: pLTC or pLTC-Marker (see the vector map above)

 

Formulation: Supplied with 10 μg of endotoxin-free plasmid DNA at 200 ng/μl in sterile TE buffer (pH8.0)

 

Gene Insert Size: 1500 bp

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’-CCAGGTTTCCGGGCCCTCAC-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.
